She is very good at what she does and gets you really looking deep within yourself. You might not want to but she does it in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming.

I am just beginning my therapy journey with Victoria Geter, but already I’m learning things about myself that I wish I knew 40 years ago. She’s very insightful, and has dug deeply to find the root causes of my unhealthy behaviors. I highly recommend her.

More about Victoria

  • 30 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience in behavioral health providing clinical counseling to adults and adolescents. My clinical career includes treating and supporting clients with a wide range of concerns such as, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance abuse, personality disorders, mood dysregulation, trauma, grief & loss and more.

My counseling style is supportive, but yet direct. While I do treat everyone with respect, empathy and compassion, you cannot change what you are not willing to own. This process is most often difficult, uncomfortable and frustrating. And so, self reflection, openness and building trust with one’s self is imperative in order to face things in your life that you say you want or need to change.

My most common modality of intervention is cognitive-behavioral retraining as one’s perception is everything. Often, the way we phrase things feed our subconscious the opposite of what we really want/need/desire or, the lenses in which we see/understand a situation is distorted and so, we need to reframe the picture. In addition, I am skilled at person-centered, solution focused, motivational interviewing, Trauma-focused CBT, EMDR (I’m very selective w/ this via Telehealth) and more.

I provide sessions via telephone or video on a weekly basis. Sporadic, random or biweekly sessions are not an option when working with me until after you have done the work and reached your goal. If you are unable to commit to this then I am not the clinician for you. But, if you’re ready to confront things in your life or, you’re seeking relief from depression, anxiety and or more - I’m your person!

I look forward to supporting you on making changes in your life or just even facing some perhaps painful or frustrating things. Remember, the therapeutic relationship is a partnership that grows out of facing difficulties together. What is most important is that you learn to trust yourself during the journey.

I look forward to supporting you.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Victoria has been a huge blessing to me! She’s really helped me with realizing who I am. She’s helped me process traumas that would have continued to tear me down had I not. She’s been so honest, genuine, challenging, supportive, and kind! She’s made my first experience with therapy so wonderful! I wish I would’ve started a long time ago!

Reviewed November 2021

I’ve been working with Vicky for 2.5 months now on a variety of issues, from stress in the workplace to family conflict to deep grief and unprocessed trauma. She is the perfect mix of gentle and forthright, humorous and serious, heavy and light. By using her intuitive listening and many years of expertise, as well as other skills, she has led me to find and consider inner reaches of myself that have been locked away for ages; she is continually convincing me that the answers I seek are more accessible than I’ve ever dreamed. Knowing her has been an answer to prayer and a deep blessing, forcing me out of the darkness of my comfort zone and towards the light of true freedom, healing, and wholeness. She is exactly who I need to walk with me on this journey, and vastly more than I hoped for when I began. I am full of appreciation for everything we’ve accomplished so far and anticipation for what lies ahead
