About Victoria

Victoria Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience. She practices in Mississippi and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and relationship concerns. She also lists focus areas such as self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, career transition, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues.

Victoria uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's goals central. She listens for practical problems and helps people build skills they can use day to day. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans.

Her background includes work across a range of mental health settings and with many different life stages. That breadth has shaped how she responds to real-world pressures like job changes, relationship strain, and caring responsibilities. She draws on multiple therapeutic methods to suit what an individual needs in the moment.

Victoria is a parent with personal experience caring for a child on the autism spectrum, and she brings that lived perspective into clinical work when relevant. She emphasizes respect and unconditional positive regard and frames treatment around each person's values and priorities.

People who meet with her can expect clear, practical steps alongside listening and reflection. She helps break down bigger problems into actions that fit everyday life. To begin, prospective clients follow the standard intake steps to match and schedule a first session.

How Victoria brings ACT, CBT and client-centered work to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It is often used when values and motivation are central, such as making life changes or coping with uncertainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that keep problems going and testing different ways of responding. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience; the therapist reflects and listens carefully to support clearer decision making and self-directed goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit those aims. The process is collaborative and may combine techniques from ACT, CBT, and client-centered practice as needed.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, jobs, or shifts in daily routine. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that avoid travel and help someone keep therapy in a busy week. Ask about session length and how appointments are scheduled when you complete the matching questionnaire.
