About Victoria
Victoria Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of counseling experience. She practices in Mississippi and has worked across a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and family issues. Victoria’s background includes work in mental health agencies and direct clinical work with many different age groups and needs.
Victoria uses a person-centered approach that prioritizes respect and unconditional positive regard. She focuses on clear, practical plans rather than abstract theory. Sessions are organized to help people talk through relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and challenges with self-esteem or substance use.
Her experience includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and addressing intimacy-related issues. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and sleep problems. Additional focus areas listed include blended family issues, domestic violence, communication problems, and co-occurring conditions.
Victoria draws on several therapeutic methods to inform her work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness approaches, and client-centered work to build practical skills. In sessions she often helps people set small goals, practice specific coping strategies, and try new behaviors between meetings.
She is a mother of seven and notes personal experience with parenting a child on the autism spectrum. That experience informs how she talks with parents about everyday household strain and navigating family dynamics. To begin, she asks people to share their main concerns and to agree on a simple plan for the next steps.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Victoria often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes where behavior shift matters.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice different responses. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing cravings or addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Victoria will discuss your goals, try methods that suit your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical changes and clearer coping strategies.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy household routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it simpler to keep consistent appointments when sessions fit around parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
