Victor Irving Endraos Luquini de Melo Souza

In our work together, I aim to combine deep exploration with clear structure. We usually start from what is happening in your life right now and then look at how your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and environments interact to maintain stress, burnout, or a sense of disconnection. From CBT, I bring practical tools to identify patterns, test new behaviors, and develop self‑regulation skills. From logotherapy and existential perspectives, I bring a focus on meaning, values, freedom, and responsibility, especially when you are facing emptiness, transitions, or difficult choices about work and life.

My style is collaborative, active, and warm rather than strictly directive. I will usually offer questions, reflections, psychoeducation, and concrete exercises. Depending on your needs, we can work in a more goal‑oriented way (for example, recovering from burnout, regulating anxiety, or navigating a specific life or career decision) or in a more open‑ended process if you are re‑examining your direction, identity, or relationships. I pay attention both to your inner experience and to the realities of contemporary workplaces, so that insights from our sessions can be translated into realistic changes in your daily life.

Although we may touch on your past when it is helpful, our work is primarily oriented toward the future and who you want to become. I work mainly with adults who are dealing with work‑related stress, chronic overload, perfectionism, imposter feelings, and questions of meaning or purpose. Many of my clients are professionals, executives, or people in transition who feel “stuck” between external expectations and their own values. In our sessions, we explore how you can relate differently to pressure, uncertainty, and responsibility, building a life that feels more coherent and alive instead of just “performing” or “coping”. My intention is to offer a space where you can think honestly about your life, reconnect with what truly matters to you, and take concrete steps in that direction at a pace that is sustainable.
