More about Victor

- LPC
Hello. I am a counselor originally from New York City, and currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. I have over 20 years experience working with people with developmental disabilities as well as emotional and mental disorders. My goal is to help you find balance while striving for your highest ideals/best life. I use a variety of approaches based on a thorough and complete assessment. Basically I individualize treatment based on each individuals needs. I am compassionate, understanding and insightful, and these are important qualities in identifying and correcting limiting thoughts, feelings, attitudes and beliefs.
In these unprecedented times mental hygiene/wellness is of the utmost importance. Depression, Isolation, Anxiety, and trauma can make daily life challenging. With the proper attitude and support from our counselors, friends, family, and associates we can emerge successful from these challenges.
Thank you for taking taking the time to consider working with me. Regardless of which counselor you choose I wish you health, wealth, and success.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Vic is personable and listens during our sessions. He helps me work through my intellectualization of my experiences and interpretations, and helps me process them in healthier ways
Victor has been an amazing resource to me as I struggled with many stressful things over the course of time working with him. He’s helped me come to a place in life where I’m able to cope independently with things without triggering myself into an awful headspace. He is truly wonderful and I’ve appreciated his insight and his ability to help me get to the other side.
Victor is great. He's helping me a lot.
The assignments he gives definitely help
I can’t imagine being able to have come this far in the progression of my mental health without Victor’s help and patience. My therapeutic breakthroughs have been invaluable thus far.
Victor is a compassionate therapist with years of experience, and it shows. He is easy to talk to and gives excellent personalized advice, Thank you for your help, Victor.
One of the things that I appreciate most about Victor is that he is easy to talk to and he seems to "get me". It makes it easier to chat with him because I feel that we understand each other and I can open up and be honest with him.
Very compassionate. Helped strengthen my sense of self-worth.
He’s a great listener. He genuinely cares about my well being.
Victor is a supportive and present therapist. I appreciate his insights.
Victor has been great so far with our sessions. I look forward to more of them
I enjoy working with Victor. The compassion this gentleman has for me makes me feel seen and heard, unlike any other intervention I've experienced. He gets it and helps you get clear right from the jump. I highly recommend him as your therapist.
Victor is a talented therapist. I appreciate his honesty, his attention, and compassion. I would recommend Victor to anyone.
Victor has been invaluable to me and my mental health journey. At the beginning, I was in a bad place, struggling to find hope and enjoyment out of life as a result of anxiety. However, after just 4 weeks with Victors assistance, care, listening, advice and hope, I can gladly say I’ve come out the other side with unfettered gratitude for the present and excitement for the future. I would recommend Victor to anyone I know who is struggling with full confidence he will help them. Many thanks, Victor.
Victor is incredibly attentive and listens to everything I have to say. He offer helpful strategies to cope with the things I am experiencing.
Vicotr is an exceptionally supportive human being. Really gave me a spark of confidence through our talks. If you need a dose of reality with some good follow through, he's it.
The changes in my life that have been an essential part of my recovery could not of happend without the expertise and understanding of my therapist Victor. His holistic approach has been very suitible to my needs and he is a true listener from the heart.
Excellent listener and is not cookie cutter with his advice and counsel.
Victor, is amazing. I appreciate his insight and wisdom.
Victor feels like family. He talks me down off of every ledge I climb on. Makes me feel safe and that I could do and survive everything. Honestly I started this with a heavy heart and wanted to quit and cry everyday. Not anymore! I appreciate you Victor!
He is being very helpful and supportive.
Victor is the therapist I always needed. He's straight-forward, doesnt BS you, and tells you the truth in a way that is tough-love and what you need to hear. He understands how to mix compassion with truth, and gives you lessons, metaphors, stories and routines that help. Ive only been with him 3-4 months and I will never go back. Victor Grimes is one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. I have so much trust in him, and he's helped me more in 4 months than any meds or exercising or meditations combined. If you have him as your therapist, you dont have any idea how lucky you truly are. Thank you Victor.
Definitely recommend better help !
I almost cancelled my whole search for help because I didn’t fit with the therapist I was first paired with. Then I picked Victor. And I have yet to regret it. The most help I’ve ever received from a therapist, and I’ve been in therapy since I was 9 years old (I’m 26 now). Is he going to be right for you? I can’t say for sure. What I can say is that he genuinely listens and cares, he’s patient, and gives insightful advice. I believe in his ability to help me change my life for the better if I put in the work. What more could I ask for?
I've only had two sessions with him and I'm feeling very comfortable with him.
Victor is great he helps me be gain a better understanding of my feelings and response mechanism. I always feels heard by Victor and he does and outstanding job of making the therapy session feel like a safe zone. We are currently working through my issues with depression and ptsd.
He has been a great help to me so far. I am definitely going to continue with him as my counselor hopefully for a while.
Victor is an incredibly compassionate and caring person. My experience working with him so far has been filled with comforting and inspirational words alongside interesting lessons in how the neurology and behavioral science. Most of our work has me putting in efforts and doing simple exercises that helped retrain my mind away from constant negativity into a much more healthy space. He provides great insights into any issues or concerns I bring to him, and I truly value all of the help he has given so far.
Victor is a great therapist. Always very engaged in the sessions. After each session, he always shared resources to prompt specific questions for them to be ready next session. He helped me understand maturity issues in relationships as well as helped me cope with the loss of a loved one. Would highly recommend! For sure his sessions helped me start 2021 on the right track!
Victor is very good at listening and asking questions to better understand. He provokes me to think. He meets me where I'm at to understand my perspective and gives encouragement and instruction or correction when needed. It's been a pleasure to work with him
My first session with Victor really did a lot for me. I was really struggling and it was my first therapy session ever, so I still had my doubts about how it would help me at all, but it felt great. He really listened to me and made it easier for me to open up and share how I was feeling.
I really enjoy my sessions with Victor. He‘s a great listener and gives me always quality comments and inputs. He‘s also really intelligent and he has a good sense of humor, which makes him a great communicator. I feel more confident since we started to work together, and I feel the sessions’ positive effect.
Only had 1 session so far, but it was good. The atmosphere was great, and he was attentive.
Professional, genuine, able to respond in a way that feels you are getting human support.
Victor is a wonderful Councelor. He is kind, respectful, understanding, and very knowledgeable.
I appreciate Victor's insight and advice. He's a perfect blend of New York and spirituality. He seems to get me.
