Victoria Cornell Riordan , LPCC, LPC

Victoria Cornell Riordan approaches counseling with a commitment to openness, honesty, fairness, and acceptance. She aims to create a caring therapeutic environment where people can define success on their own terms and explore thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Her practice emphasizes collaborative goal-setting so each person can work toward outcomes that matter to them.

Her clinical path began with an internship during her senior year of high school 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 serving active duty members and veterans in psychological roles. After a medical discharge following two years of service, she pursued graduate training and completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Xavier University. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials - LPCC indicates a license to practice as a professional clinical counselor, and LPC denotes licensure as a professional counselor.

Victoria has experience across a wide range of mental health concerns and life transitions, including relationship issues, trauma, autism, depression, anxiety, ADHD, career challenges, motivation for healthier living, and adapting to stressful changes. She has facilitated individual, family, and group therapy for people ages 5 through 98. Her additional training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy, couples and family therapy, trauma-focused treatments, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and EMDR. In clinical work she frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help people build practical skills and move toward their goals.

Victoria frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based techniques into her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve everyday functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, often used for various forms of trauma. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies to manage difficult emotions, support emotional regulation, and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Victoria works with clients to explore what feels most relevant to their needs, goals, and preferences, tailoring techniques from different models so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Victoria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to access care from home, during breaks, or while traveling, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to adapt session formats to individual needs and progress.
