About Victoria Cornell Riordan
Victoria Cornell Riordan approaches counseling with an emphasis on openness, honesty, fairness, and acceptance. She aims to create a caring space where people can set goals that reflect their own measures of success and share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Her clinical journey began during her senior year of high school with an internship at an adolescent residential treatment facility, where she helped run equine and small-animal assisted psychotherapy groups. She later joined the military with the intention of working as a psychologist serving active duty service members and veterans. After two years she was medically discharged due to chronic health conditions and redirected her training toward clinical counseling. She earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University and holds professional licenses as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

Her additional training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy, couples and family therapy, trauma-focused treatments including Prolonged Exposure, and EMDR. She frequently incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help clients build practical skills and move toward their goals.

Approaches for online care and therapeutic skills
Victoria often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. For clients with trauma histories, she is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach that works to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Victoria collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans and adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and client-centered.
Online therapy with Victoria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier for people to access licensed professionals and continue consistent work on goals from wherever they are, while allowing therapists and clients to choose the mode that best supports progress.
