Victoria Schreiber, LPC Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan

Hello, my name is Victoria Schreiber and I am an LPC in the state of Michigan. I earned my Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University in May 2023. I am trained to provide psychotherapy treatment for individuals, couples, and groups and have experience working with ages 10 to 75. I am knowledgeable in treating depression, anxiety, marriage issues, grief, conflict resolution, GLBTQIA+ issues, and improving communication skills. 

I use a cognitive behavioral approach to counseling. Clients have the ability to solve their own problems and free themselves from negative thinking patterns with the guidance of the counselor. The counselor helps the client to identify negative/harmful thoughts and find ways to adapt their behavior to allow them to circumvent those negative thoughts. 

Counseling involves the sharing of personal problems, concerns, and stories with a professional who is skilled at helping the client or clients come to a resolution or solution about the particular situation. Counseling is an interpersonal, theory-based professional activity guided by ethical and legal standards that focuses on helping people resolve developmental issues, situational problems, and more complex personal diagnoses. Counselors do not provide answers or solutions but rather help the client to identify and overcome barriers to creating their own solutions and change. 

We begin by conducting a thorough assessment to identify our counseling focus. We will then collaborate to identify goals for the client, develop a plan of action, and then implement that plan. This is a very personal process and it is educational and developmental by nature.
