Hi, I'm glad you're here. If you're navigating a chronic illness, caring for a loved one, coping with grief, or adjusting to a major life change, you may be carrying more than most people realize.

As a licensed clinical social worker with a background in medical social work, I've spent years supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging seasons. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when your world changes unexpectedly or when you're constantly putting others' needs before your own.

My goal is to provide a compassionate space where you can feel supported, understood, and less alone as we work through whatever you're facing together.

Is life getting the best of you? Feeling stressed, overwhelmed & alone? Why try to figure life out on your own? I'm a CBT and Existential counselor (LGBTQ+ affirming) dedicated to helping you improve ways of managing life difficulties. Those difficulties may include major life changes, grief/loss, guilt/shame, financial stress, work stress, persistent worry or relationship issues. I have specialized training with Veterans and First Responders Responders. I have decades of experience working with families in addiction. My own life experience with trauma and substance abuse has shown me how hard change can be. Please let me help.

I want to hear what's going on in your life. I want to know what areas of life you want to change or improve. We can work together to get you to a place in life where YOU want to be!

I offer online video and telephone counseling, which allows you to stay safely in your home while we are meeting. I have a casual approach and consider each of us as part of a team, working for the same goal.

Therapist

After more than four decades as a therapist, I've learned something important: most people don't come to therapy because they're weak. They come because they've been strong for far too long. Life has a way of asking us to carry more than we ever imagined, whether you're caring for aging parents, grieving a loss, adjusting to retirement, managing chronic stress, or simply feeling like you've lost yourself while taking care of everyone else.

For more than 43 years, I've helped adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving, major life transitions, chronic health concerns, and the challenges that come with every stage of adulthood. I provide a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you're experiencing. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish and welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds seeking practical support and lasting change.

Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, or a major life transition, it can feel exhausting trying to hold everything together while carrying so much on your own. You don't have to face those challenges alone. For more than 15 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and trauma, helping them build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Working with adolescents and adults, I provide a warm, open minded environment where you can feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered to move forward with confidence while honoring the experiences that have shaped your journey.

Dr. Victor Wiesner

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Conroe, TX


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.
