More about Victor
- 26 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (PA) with more than has more than 25 years of experience as a Mental Health Therapist. I hold a Doctorate of Social Work, which was completed in October 2019. I treat children, adults, and families - specializing in trauma, anxiety, autism, and substance abuse from a strengths perspective. I have over 200 hours of specialized training in treating trauma and abuse, with completed certifications in autism, as well as substance abuse.
I have helped many patients with many concerns over the past 25 years. I treat from a holistic approach - body, mind, and spirit. Research states that treatment should include physical, mental, emotional, culture, religion, spirituality, and everything that makes you who you are.
"Holistic" has become somewhat of a buzzword. Let me describe what holistic means to me. It means that counseling will not fix a thyroid problem. Holistic means that a problem in one area of your life will affect every area of your life.
For example, let's talk about depression. Sometimes, people do not have depression. Instead, they might need to work at forgiving themselves or someone else; or maybe they just need hope that life will get better. Alternatively, they might have an underlying medical condition. Sometimes, we just need help to grieve the loss of a dearly loved person or a beloved animal.
I help people to find healthy coping skills, people to trust, and ways to live life to the fullest.
Be at Peace,
Dr. Vic (he/ him)

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Good guy
Dr. Manocchio is an excellent therapist and I would recommend him to anyone
Victor is the best therapist I have ever met and perfectly suits what I need.
Dr. Manocchio is a life changer. He truly takes the time to listen and understand what I’m going through and helps to make my problems / issues feel not so heavy or abnormal. He always has worksheets and vignettes at hand to help me understand situations better and to enable myself to heal and work on myself. I’ve learned so much in just a few weeks and what I have learned in therapy comes up in conversation within my social circle and has helped others as well!
Dr. Manic chip has been incredibly supportive and attentive. His empathetic approach and insightful guidance have made a significant positive impact on my well-being. I highly recommend his services.
Fantastic, highly skilled therapist. I work in mental health and interact with many therapists. I have the utmost respect for his dedication to his clients and passion for psychology.
Dr. Manocchio is very empathetic and experienced at navigating life’s ups and and downs. He is a great listener and I always leave our sessions with a renewed sense of hopefulness and energy.
Dr. manocchio is by far the best therapist I have ever had. He’s so insightful and always responds in a timely manor. I’ve actually gotten to the point where I look forward to having my therapy session. He makes you feel comfortable in any way possible.
We work well together and he’s good for my issues
Dr. Manocchio has been life changing for me. He's helped me mentally push forward through an extremely difficult time in my life, devoid of any judgement, and has provided myself with a plethora of phenomenal advice & techniques to help ease my anxiety. I couldn't ask for a better therapist who maintains a deep knowledge in his fields, while also being one of the most down-to-Earth people I've had the privilege of getting to know. It's reassuring to know I'm in such good hands. Highly recommend! 10-outta-10 on all fronts!
Dr. Manocchio has taken the time to truly listen. He offers different approaches with tools to help guide me thru difficult situations. He offers support and often checks in to make sure you are doing well. He definitely goes above and beyond for his patients.
What can I say about Dr. Manocchio? The man has a working solution for everything. He listens on a level that is in balance with the mind and soul and seeks solutions, exercises that will take you to higher levels of consciousness. I’ve grown more in the past year than I have in all of my 54 years greatly in part because of Dr. Manocchio’s guidance, expertise and experience in the field of psychology. I’m grateful after every session that he gives me the ability to recognize my own power to experience my journey without fear. Dr. Manocchio is the best in his field.
Dr. Manocchio is fantastic. Totally down to earth and positive.
Doctor is smart, affable, intuitive and makes me feel like I’m being listened to. I appreciate him much.
Excellent experience- very grateful to have access to a compassionate, knowledgeable professional person that is flexible with my busy life.
Dr. Manocchio has been an amazing asset to me so far. He is extremely personable and always willing to offer advice and tools to help me along my journey.
I’ve just started therapy with Dr. Manocchio but I feel he’s very professional I don’t feel the need to hide or lie to him like I have in the past with therapists it’s already slowly taking affect and I can’t wait for future improvements! <3
My doctor, Dr. Manicchio, has been engaged since our first meeting. In fact, he offered worksheets and a chance for me to self-reflect before our first session, allowing him to delve deeper into my issues. I’m grateful to have such an introspective and intelligent guide to help me with my journey to wellness.
I appreciate him and look forward to talking with him
I'm glad I was matched with Dr. Manocchio.
Dr Manocchio has been great so far. I’m 2 weeks in a I’ve found his expert knowledge and care really helpful. He has helped me with anxiety and trauma I’ve dealt with and is also just a really nice, genuine guy. I’m from the UK so it’s been really nice to talk to someone on the other side of the world and get another perspective. Thank you!
Sofar so very good. This a great place to be, and now also to be me. Victor is a fine person, easy to talk to. A good man. Thanks to betterhelp that didn't give up on me...
Easy. You are a good man, person. Emphatic. Love and care ❤️
Dr. Manocchio is very knowledgeable, and able to provide support and help me in unpacking my thoughts even after I ramble for a few minutes. He is lighthearted, shares real life experiences which help me feel not alone, and very qualified in his field of work. He also makes me laugh which is nice. I enjoy that his approach to therapy is rooted in mindfulness, but involves a real-life application of mindfulness tools that are approachable and not overwhelming. He is able to break down complex psychological theories/suggestions into simple language that is easy to understand and remember. I look forward to working with him more in my journey.
