Victoria De Lissovoy , LCSW

Victoria De Lissovoy brings more than three decades of clinical experience to her work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a credential that designates her as a licensed therapist trained in assessment and treatment across the lifespan. She has worked with diverse populations in a variety of practice settings, offering support for relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief and loss, mood and anxiety disorders, addictions, LGBT issues, and the stresses of life transitions.

As a Certified Advanced Clinician through the Institute for Imago Therapy, Imago Relationships International, she guides couples and individuals through intentional relational work that enhances emotional awareness and supports healthier connection patterns. She is also a Medicare provider and enjoys supporting older adults as they reframe life changes, manage grief, and pursue balance during later life stages.

Victoria combines clinical training with a longtime engagement in music as a music educator and performing jazz pianist. That dual background creates opportunities to collaborate with artists and incorporate creative strategies into therapeutic care when useful for symptom management. Her practice emphasizes cultivating inner resources - self-worth, clarity, humor, and appropriate boundaries - and includes structured relaxation and meditation techniques to reduce stress and promote self-support. With an eclectic, holistic stance she acts as a compassionate witness and partner in clients discovering new meaning, empowerment, and ongoing personal development.

Attachment, Imago, and Mindfulness Approaches in Online Care

Victoria De Lissovoy integrates several therapeutic approaches into online work to address relationships, emotional regulation, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns influence present-day connections and helps clients build more secure ways of relating and managing attachment wounds. Imago Relationship Therapy uses structured dialogue and intentional exercises to deepen mutual understanding between partners and improve communication patterns that contribute to recurring conflict. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and relaxation practices that support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and increase present-moment awareness for coping with anxiety, grief, and life change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Victoria works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then tailors methods so the treatment fits the person and the relationship rather than expecting a one-size-fits-all model. This collaborative stance helps clients try different strategies and find what resonates.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or support conversations can be handled via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from a wider geographic area.
