About Victoria
Victoria Cornell Riordan centers her work on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She brings a practical, skills-oriented approach to clients seeking clearer coping strategies, better sleep and eating patterns, improved mood regulation, or support managing attention and bipolar-related concerns. Her practice emphasizes collaboration so clients set goals that match their values and measures of success.
She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University and holds LPC and LPCC credentials, with licensure records OH LPCC E.1800849-SUPV and DC LPC PRC200001437. Her clinical background includes roles in adolescent residential treatment and military service, and she has six years of professional counseling experience.
Victoria integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques to help clients develop practical skills and process difficult experiences. Victoria works with people across a wide age span and draws on individual, family, and group therapy skills to tailor care.
She aims to maintain an open, honest, and nonjudgmental therapeutic stance so clients can explore challenges and build sustainable strategies for everyday life.
Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online
Victoria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, translating those insights into concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and day-to-day stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses to support people in clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action, often helping with life transitions and motivation challenges. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or relationship stressors are involved.Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, then adapts methods from these models to create a tailored plan rather than applying a single fixed technique.
Online therapy with Victoria is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around schedules and geographic limits. These options allow people to access licensed professionals from their own routines, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while using practical, evidence-informed strategies in everyday life.
