About Victoria
Victoria De Lissovoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of clinical experience. She draws on long practice working with adults who are juggling stress, grief, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, or major life changes. Her approach is practical and steady, aimed at helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
She prefers short, focused sessions that build skills for emotional regulation and better communication. Sessions often include guided relaxation and mindfulness exercises to manage anxiety and stress.
Background and approach
Victoria also uses talk work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Her background includes work with older adults and helping people navigate grief, caregiver strain, and the shifting demands of later life. She also brings experience supporting people facing addiction, bipolar mood challenges, and issues around self-esteem and identity.
Victoria integrates attention to attachment and family-of-origin patterns when those issues come up. Victoria values collaboration and a client-centered stance. She listens for strengths and practical goals, then suggests experiments and habits people can try between sessions.
Many clients get relief by learning small routines for calm and clearer conversations with the people who matter to them. Outside clinical work she is a musician and music educator, and she sometimes uses creative processes to support emotional work. Her style is calm, grounded, and flexible, aimed at helping parents and individuals balance responsibilities while caring for their own needs.

Approaches that fit parenting and life stress
Victoria combines Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people understand how early patterns shape relationships and to center the person’s own goals and choices. Attachment work looks at how connection and safety influence current relationships, which can help when old patterns create conflict or anxiety. Client-centered work focuses on listening, validation, and the person’s own pace for change.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking and behavior patterns that worsen stress or depression. CBT offers concrete tools - like breaking down big worries into manageable steps and practicing different responses - that can reduce anxiety and improve communication at home.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Victoria collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or new concerns emerge.
Online therapy provides practical benefits for busy parents and people with limited time. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging support quick check-ins or notes between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
