About Victor Garcia

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Marriage & Family Therapist in the state of Texas (USA) I have worked with a variety of individuals (ages 3 and up), people in romantic partnerships, families, and groups from diverse backgrounds. As a mental health professional I have had the honor of providing services in a shelter for survivors of family violence and sexual abuse/assault, a substance abuse recovery facility, and a nonprofit community mental health agency. Additionally, I have regularly made presentations for professional groups as well as employee assistance programs and many types of social service agencies.

I am qualified to work with Physician Healthcare Programs (PHP) and clients via Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).

As a professional helper I assist people in understanding more about themselves, their relationships, and the outer world (society). Kindness, compassion, creativity, and patience are key to my work with you. On your therapy journey you will learn many new things about who you are, your needs and wants, and paths you may choose to move towards your goals. It is also my responsibility to help you develop healthier ways of coping and to assist you in exploring your individual strengths.

The work of therapy can be challenging for many reasons and requires you to be open and honest during the process. Parts of your story are shared over time and I will be patient as you develop a comfort with the therapeutic partnership. Please note that my style blends listening with education and action. This style may be challenging for clients that desire a different design/process in therapy.

If you feel ready to share some of your story, I am ready to listen, and will do what I can to assist you.

Side notes: Please be prepared to start the therapy process soon after you request services, or after you get connected to me, and be sure to check the platform regularly for correspondence.

If you are a returning client wanting services with me again, or a new client preferring to work with me, you can expedite the process by reaching out to the helpdesk and letting them know so that they can contact me with the referral.

At this time I am only offering Voice Call (phone/audio) and Live Chat sessions. Please be aware of this before starting, and/or during, the therapy process.

***Because a significantly growing number of clients are disclosing concerns about sexually explicit media (SEM; porn) use and sexual choices that they, and/or their loved ones, are making, especially in the last few years, I am especially keen to continue helping clients struggling with varying levels of sex and porn addiction. Mirroring other forms of addiction, shame, secrecy, denial, and disbelief are significant barriers that keep these cancers alive.

There are so many barriers facing true, monogamous love, even before two people meet. There are challenges we encounter when initiating, nourishing, and maintaining ingredients and processes of love. At this point in my career, I want to protect and promote monogamous love potentials all across the world, and look forward to continuing to serve clients seeking this possibility.

“I'm finding hope that didn't exist”

“Victor is a great, accommodated to my needs. Provides tasks to be completed through the week before the meetings which are very insightful. We created a work plan and so far I would say we have taken good steps forward in our first couple of sessions.”

“So far victor has been really funny and given me a fair bit of knowledge. Hes very patient with me and understands that my brain processes things slower sometimes.”

“He's really chill and good at playing a mixture of hands on hands off approach. He takes interest in the odd little things that help define a person, without being so stuck on them that we deviate from the lesson or target of the conversation. He also provides lots of tools and is super flexible with scheduling”

“Very calm and understanding, I had my doubts and questions at the start, now I’m Glad to have stayed I’ve learned much about myself and how to properly express my feelings and communicate better with those around me.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Victor Garcia through Better Help. From the very first session, I felt heard and understood. Victor has a remarkable ability to create a safe and inclusive space, which was incredibly important to me as someone seeking a therapist who values diversity and representation. Their approach is both compassionate and professional, and they have a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by marginalized communities. Whether through sessions or messaging, Victor Garcia consistently provided insightful and practical advice that helped me navigate my personal struggles. I highly recommend Victor Garcia to anyone looking for a therapist who not only excels in their field but also genuinely cares about representing and supporting diverse backgrounds.”

“Victor is an excellent therapist. You can tell he really cares about his patients and their best interests. He is respectful, patient, encouraging, and understanding. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

“victor was key in getting me from absolute rock bottom to being quite content with life.”

“I feel he is wholly competent. Dissects the deeper issues and is patient.”

“Victor is a great therapist.”

“I really enjoyed how much time Victor invested on me in and outside of therapy. I could tell from his commitment to me that he really cares about the mental health of his clients.”

“Victor's knowledge of the human mind and our emotions and his gentle yet effective encouragement to utilize tools, knowledge and techniques has helped me and continues to help me. I am confident he could help most if not all become better versions of themselves.”

“Victor is amazing!”

“I've been working with Victor for only a few months now and he is by far the best therapist I've ever had. He keeps me accountable and gives me tools to refer back to. I actually feel like I'm seeing the results that I always wanted and was unsure why I wasn't seeing it with my previous therapists but through his accountability (which doesn't always feel great in the moment at first!!!) I am so much more aware of my patterns and how to approach them.”

“Victor is amazing!”
