Victoria Cornell Riordan, LPCC, LPC

Victoria Cornell Riordan approaches counseling with openness, honesty, fairness, and an accepting stance toward every person she meets. She aims to create a caring environment where clients can define goals by their own standards and speak about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Victoria's interest in therapeutic work began during her senior year of high school, when she completed an internship at an adolescent residential treatment facility and helped run equine and small-animal assisted psychotherapy groups.

She later joined the military intending to pursue a career as a psychologist serving active duty service members and veterans. After two years she was medically discharged because of chronic health conditions and redirected her training to clinical mental health counseling. Victoria completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Xavier University and is now licensed to practice as a clinical counselor. She holds LPCC and LPC credentials - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor - reflecting her graduate training and clinical licensure.

Victoria’s practice includes work with a broad range of concerns across the lifespan, with experience serving individuals from age 5 through 98 in individual, family, and group settings. She has worked with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, autism, depression, anxiety, ADHD, career challenges, motivation for healthier living, and coping with major life changes. Her additional training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy, couples and family therapy, trauma-focused treatments, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and EMDR. She also frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help clients build practical skills toward their goals.
