Victoria Laneri, LMHC

LMHC in New York with 25 years of clinical experience, Victoria Laneri helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and depression. She focuses on practical support for coping with life changes and the emotional effects of abuse. Victoria speaks English and accepts international clients.

Victoria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations about what is happening now and what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, developing coping skills, and working through painful memories or behaviors tied to substance use. She aims to make discussions direct and understandable so people can try new ways of handling stress and cravings.

Her work includes attention to abandonment and attachment issues, problems tied to adoption or foster care, and struggles that come from family of origin dynamics. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. First responder issues and aging or geriatric concerns are part of her practice as well.

Victoria helps people who are dealing with guilt, shame, and the overlap of multiple diagnoses or co-morbidity. She approaches addiction and recovery with an emphasis on practical steps and relapse prevention. Conversations often move between emotions, daily routines, and concrete behavior changes.

People who choose Victoria can expect straightforward work focused on symptom relief and better daily functioning. To begin, she asks about current challenges and what someone wants to change. That information guides the plan for sessions and short-term goals.
