Victoria Cornell Riordan , LPCC, LPC

Victoria Cornell Riordan is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Ohio. She aims to make therapy straightforward and nonjudgmental, helping people set goals that matter to them. Her manner is open and honest, and she focuses on creating a calm space where clients can talk through what’s been holding them back.

Victoria draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports those coping with relationship and family concerns, grief, changes at work, and challenges related to attention and mood. Eating, sleeping, anger, and life transitions are common topics she helps clients address.

Her background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University and six years of clinical experience. She has worked across settings that included individual and group formats with a wide age range. That varied history informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.

In therapy she uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness practices. Those methods are applied to build coping skills, change unhelpful patterns, and process difficult memories.

People who come to Victoria can expect collaborative goal-setting and skill-building tailored to everyday life. She helps clients break concerns into manageable steps and practices that fit their routines. Her work is geared toward steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps in that direction, even when uncomfortable thoughts and feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for strong mood swings or relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria meets clients where they are and collaborates to choose or combine methods that match each person’s goals and preferences. Together they track what is helping and adjust strategies as needed so therapy fits the client’s life.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls are close to an in-person visit and allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging lets clients check in between sessions or use shorter, flexible exchanges when that suits their routine. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
