01About Victoria
Victoria Cornell Riordan meets people where they are and helps them find steady steps forward. She prioritizes honest, fair, and accepting care so people can set goals that matter to them. Her style is practical and straightforward, suited to someone who wants real tools for daily life.
Riordan began working with adolescents during a high school internship that involved equine and small-animal assisted groups. She later served in the military before completing a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Xavier University.
Background and approach
She holds the credentials LPCC, which is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and practices in Ohio. Over six years of clinical experience include individual, group, and family therapy across a wide age range.
She has helped people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and stress from life changes. She also provides support around relationship and family problems, career stress, and fertility or adoption-related concerns. Her approach combines several practical methods.
She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to build present-moment awareness, and trauma-focused work when past events are getting in the way of daily life. She also uses skills from acceptance and commitment therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help with emotion regulation and values-based choices. Sessions focus on concrete skills, clear goals, and steady progress.
People can expect a collaborative process that includes talking through concerns, practicing new strategies, and adjusting the plan as goals change. Riordan aims to make therapy useful and understandable for busy lives.

04Online support
How these approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills for intense feelings or relationship stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is tracked. This teamwork helps shape whether more skills work, mindfulness practice, or trauma-focused interventions are used.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving duties while still using evidence-informed therapies.
