About Victoria
Victoria Cornell Riordan offers straightforward, nonjudgmental care for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or big life changes. She sets out to create an accepting space where clients can name goals that matter to them. Her approach is practical and focused on real-life steps rather than jargon.
Victoria began exploring counseling in high school through an internship running animal-assisted groups at a residential program. She later served in the military before returning to school and earning a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University.
Background and approach
She holds the credential Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, and is also a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. In practice she helps people manage a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, grief, and sleep or eating struggles. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and work or career challenges.
Anger and coping with major life transitions are listed among her focus areas. Victoria uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and act in line with their values. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques when those methods fit a client's needs.
Sessions tend to emphasize skill building, practical strategies, and clear steps clients can try between meetings. With six years of clinical experience in Ohio, Victoria offers talks that are direct but compassionate. She works in English and provides several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings show up. It is useful for stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. It often includes practical exercises to do between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication; it can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship stress. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people exchange brief updates or work through exercises without scheduling a full call, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy day.Questions people ask about Victoria
