About Victoria
Victoria Cornell Riordan is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with six years of experience who aims to create an open, fair, and accepting space for people to talk about what matters to them. She focuses on practical goals the client sets and helps people share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Victoria draws on clear, straightforward conversation and skill-building to address everyday strains such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and relationship difficulties.
She has a background that began with hands-on work in adolescent residential settings, including animal-assisted groups, and continued through military service before completing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Xavier University. That path shaped a focus on trauma, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. Her work includes experience across a wide age range and in individual, family, and group settings.
Victoria uses several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and trauma-informed tools when past events continue to cause distress. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that pairs clear skill teaching with space to process emotions. Sessions aim to strengthen coping, improve communication, and build routines that support better sleep, mood, and daily functioning. Victoria works from Ohio and offers services in English.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which can reduce avoidant behavior and improve decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to teach practical tools for tackling anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in high-stress moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, trauma processing, or mindfulness exercises so the plan fits what the client needs.
The profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-in meetings, or letting someone join from another location with fewer interruptions. Licensed professionals can use video or phone tools to guide skill practice, coach through breathing and grounding, and work through cognitive techniques in real time.
