Victor Roveda

Victor Roveda

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping adults and adolescents manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, life transitions, and substance-related concerns.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and goal-focused. I use evidence-based strategies, including CBT and exposure-based work, to help clients better understand their patterns, build coping skills, and make meaningful changes in daily life.

I believe therapy does not have to be reserved only for moments of crisis. It can be helpful for anyone who wants to manage stress more effectively, improve relationships, strengthen emotional control, or feel more confident in how they handle life’s demands.
