Victoria Kaplan, LPCC — Therapist in Ohio

Hi there, I'm Victoria!

My approach to therapy is strongly informed by a humanistic theory of psychology that emphasizes an individual's potential for growth, resilience, and healing.

My focus

I work with adult clients individually. I am experienced in the treatment of mental and emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, anger, trauma, grief, substance use, mood dysregulation, and the impact of adverse childhood experiences on coping and stability.

My approach

I have a multifaceted approach to therapy that draws from Attachment Theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and others.

My communication style

The tone I create in my sessions is one of warmth, acceptance, and openness, which allows clients to experience vulnerability rather than defensively shutting down as a form of self-protection. Trust, which is the foundation of the therapeutic relationship, creates space for that vulnerability.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for understanding our emotional maps drew me to my field and has deepened over my decades of practice. Our dilemmas, struggles, and losses often present like jigsaw puzzles: complicated and confusing, with attention drawn to pieces that seem out of place.

My goals for you

No one comes to therapy because everything is okay. The goal is always about lessening discomfort and increasing the capacity to cope.

Our first session

The first session is an opportunity for information gathering, one in which we develop an understanding of the presenting problem and how you envision life when resolution is achieved.
