Victoria De Lissovoy, LCSW

Victoria De Lissovoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience in behavioral health. She combines psychotherapy with a practical, down-to-earth style that helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and life changes. Her background includes work with older adults and with people navigating addiction, mood disorders, and sexual identity concerns.

Victoria uses approaches that focus on relationships and attachment while helping people build emotional regulation and self-acceptance. Sessions often include mindfulness and guided relaxation practices to reduce stress and increase calm. She also draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors.

Her work emphasizes finding inner resources like humor, self-worth, and boundaries. She encourages small, practical steps for self-care and stability. Music and creativity are sometimes woven into sessions for people who find that helpful, given her background as a music educator and jazz pianist.

Victoria describes her style as eclectic and collaborative. She acts as a steady witness while helping people reframe problems and discover new meaning. The aim is to leave clients with clearer coping tools and a stronger sense of balance.

Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including intimacy issues, caregiver stress, family-of-origin patterns, codependency, abandonment, and forgiveness. People looking for a relationship-focused perspective and practical strategies to manage everyday stress often find this approach useful.

How relationship-based and mindfulness approaches work online

Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on how patterns from early relationships show up now. It uses structured conversations to increase understanding and improve communication, which can help with commitment issues, intimacy concerns, and repeating patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early emotional bonds affect current behavior. It helps people notice attachment patterns, build emotional regulation, and change how they relate to others when stress or loss occurs.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client's own goals. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so the person can find their own solutions and grow in self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and make scheduling simpler so people can keep momentum between appointments. If you plan to use online care, confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are available.
