Dr. Victor Wiesner

Hello, I’m Dr Wiesner. I have a PhD in counseling. I was a professor teaching graduate students for seven years. During this time I was the director of a ten room counseling clinic at the university. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor for those new to the field, a Nationally Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

I strive to be respectful and care about clients achieving their goals as quickly as possible. I taught diagnoses nine semesters at the university. I have published several research papers in peer reviewed journals and have made 7 presentations at the state and national level. I taught research methods and statistics but what really matters to me aren’t my degrees etc..but wanting you to live a zest filled life.

I have a degree in engineering and a MBA but left engineering to focus on assisting clients find and achieve goals that are important to them. Engineering trained me to think logically and to problem solve with an emphasis on practical issues and being practical. Practical and long lasting results is my focus.

I’m a member of Mensa and have been in the American Counseling Association and the Texas Counseling Association. While I have treated a long list of issues my main focus has been working with couples, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and past trauma.

If you choose me I would feel honored to help as best I can. I work with age ranges from six year olds to seniors. I like to say I want difficult and complex cases but you are not a case.

I think a goal found that is truly the client’s goal and not because someone said you “need” to go to counseling is crucial. I want you to state and own positive goals where you can see yourself winning. Sometimes deciding exactly how you would want to be makes you instantly feel you have a passionate goal and gives you the energy, determination, and commitment that will benefit you. Sometimes it takes several sessions to find your specific goal. I think goal setting shouldn’t be rushed.

You are a person - you are not your diagnosis. I will do my role to assist you. I have many tools to use but research suggests that the therapeutic relationship is 85% of what determines the outcomes.

I want you to feel understood, to not be judged in anyway, and for me to come across as genuine. Next we will find your passionate goals - how you win, Eventually we will together collaborate with a specific treatment plan.
