Victor Rose , LCSW

Victor Rose is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. He practices from a strength-based, solution-focused stance that centers resilience and practical strategies alongside exploring difficulties. Over his career he has worked with diverse populations, including people affected by substance use, survivors of domestic violence, children and families involved with the child welfare system and juvenile justice, adults connected to the criminal justice system, LGBT youth and adults, and people experiencing housing instability.

His clinical work has involved anger management, parenting skills training, development of cognitive and behavioral strategies for depression and anxiety, trauma-focused counseling, relapse prevention, and efforts to resolve family problems. Victor integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to address negative thinking and to build adaptive coping skills, while maintaining a client-centered emphasis on each person’s strengths and goals.

Recognizing that beginning counseling can feel challenging, he aims to provide a supportive environment where clients can speak honestly and work toward growth. Sessions focus on the concerns clients bring, with practical tools and clear steps intended to help them move forward and pursue greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Victor frequently draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to shape online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore their values and strengths while finding their own solutions; it is often helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to change those patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and relapse prevention.

He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Victor works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor treatment accordingly so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Victor is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during changes, and use therapeutic tools in real time from wherever the client is located, while working with licensed professionals and trained therapists.
