About Victoria

Victoria Cornell Riordan centers her work on helping people manage overwhelming stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and attention challenges such as ADHD, guiding clients toward practical goals they set for themselves.

Background and approach

She emphasizes an open, honest, and accepting stance so clients can explore their concerns without fear of judgment, and she aims to create a caring environment where individual measures of success shape the therapeutic plan.

Riordan’s path to counseling included an early internship running animal-assisted therapy groups, service in the military with an initial focus on psychology, and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Xavier University. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials in Ohio and brings six years of clinical experience working across individual, family, and group formats.

Her toolbox includes evidence-based techniques such as CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, and mindfulness practices, and she has pursued additional training in trauma-focused treatments and couples and family therapy. Her approach blends skill-building and trauma work to support clients through life changes, relationship and family challenges, grief, mood concerns, and difficulties with motivation and daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online treatment options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and build committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult internal experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and difficulties with motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then adapt techniques from these modalities to create a treatment plan that feels like a good fit and evolves as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it possible to schedule sessions around work and life commitments, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and choose a format that aligns with communication style and daily routines.
