About Victoria

Victoria Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 11 years of clinical experience. She works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, and uses a person-centered approach in her work. She describes her style as client-centered and aims to create an individualized plan of care for each person she sees.

Scott has worked in a range of mental health settings over her career. Her background includes work with adults and groups, and she reports experience supporting people with both short-term problems and long-standing struggles. She notes family life and personal experience as part of what informs her practice.

Her listed clinical methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. She uses these approaches to address symptoms like anxiety, low mood, addictive behaviors, and difficulties with self-esteem and relationships.

The biography indicates experience across many focus areas beyond core mood and anxiety concerns. These additional focuses include ADHD, bipolar issues, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, compassion fatigue, and a range of relational and behavioral concerns such as communication problems, divorce and separation, and blended family issues.

She notes personal experience as a parent, including parenting a child on the autism spectrum, and points to that experience alongside her education and work history as shaping how she supports clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

Therapeutic approaches used for virtual care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It can help people manage anxiety, depression, and life changes by clarifying what matters and taking small consistent steps toward those values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, insomnia, and coping with stress by teaching practical strategies and skills.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect to support the person’s own problem-solving. This approach is used to improve self-esteem, relationship concerns, and adjustment after difficult events.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. The plan can change as needs evolve and different methods can be combined.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy routine. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when that is preferable. Licensed professionals adapt methods like ACT and CBT to work in remote settings and focus on practical skills that carry over into everyday life.
