My name is Victoria Anciano and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor in New Jersey. I have worked with a diversified range of individuals and varying populations since 2008. I graduated with my Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 2012 and am also a Nationally Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC). (A fun fact about me is that I can communicate fluently in American Sign Language (ASL).

I support individuals in cultivating healthier thought patterns and behaviors. My clinical modalities are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and person-centered approaches, to help individuals identify goals and develop strategies to achieve them. I have a passion for helping people overcome obstacles and live their best, fulfilling lives. I offer a supportive, warm, confidential space for clients to explore their experiences and develop coping strategies. I believe in forming a strong therapeutic relationship, built on mutual respect and trust.

At an early age and as far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a “helper,” which drew me into the counseling profession. I am experienced with working with people with disabilities, ranging from youth to senior citizens. My clinical experience spans from adolescents, teens, adults, and families, working on daily life stressors, transitional periods, academic and career choices, and personal or relational challenges. My greatest passion as a therapist is getting to know individuals, hearing your unique stories and experiences, and working together to identify and cultivate the tools that will help you thrive.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two sons, cooking up various cuisines in the kitchen, enjoying Sunday dinners with close family and in-laws, and spending time in Cape May.
