Victoria De Lissovoy

Victoria De Lissovoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of clinical experience. She combines psychotherapy and behavioral health skills to help people navigate major life shifts and ongoing stress. Victoria’s background also includes work with older adults and with creative communities through her music career.

Victoria takes a practical, person-focused approach in sessions. She listens for what matters to the individual and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling stable. Sessions often include breathing and relaxation practices to reduce immediate tension and ground conversations.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered conversation, and cognitive behavioral techniques to support clearer thinking and healthier reactions. She uses mindfulness and relationship-focused tools to help people build emotional regulation and stronger self-awareness. This mix is offered in plain language and paced to the client’s needs.

Many people come to her for help with anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with life changes. She also addresses relationship struggles, parenting strain, caregiving stress, and concerns related to identity and intimacy. Victoria helps clients reframe difficult moments and find small practical steps forward.

Outside the therapy room she brings experience as a music educator and performing jazz pianist. That background informs a creative, flexible style that values humor, self-compassion, and everyday practices for stress management.

How Victoria blends approaches for online work

Victoria often draws on attachment-based ideas, focusing on how early patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. This work helps people notice interaction habits and build more secure ways of relating in daily life.

She also uses client-centered techniques, which means conversations center on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, asking clarifying questions and reflecting back what’s important to support self-understanding.

In addition, cognitive behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. These techniques are practical and aim to reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and support problem-solving for everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels useful, then tailor methods accordingly. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as goals evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy should be confirmed before booking since session formats are not listed here. Many people find virtual sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time.
