Victoria De Lissovoy , LCSW

Victoria De Lissovoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience as a psychotherapist and behavioral health specialist working with diverse populations across a variety of practice settings. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker she brings clinical training in assessment and treatment, and she is also a Certified Advanced Clinician through the Institute for Imago Therapy - a certification in Imago Relationship Therapy that supports couples and relational work.

She serves as a Medicare provider and has a strong interest in helping older adults navigate the challenges of later life, including generativity versus despair, grief work, and the stressors that can disrupt balance and stability. Her work integrates structured meditation and relaxation techniques to ease stress and to encourage inner reflection and self-support.

In addition to clinical practice, Victoria maintains a parallel career in music as an educator, performing jazz pianist, and concert producer. That background allows her to collaborate effectively with artists and to incorporate creative process as a therapeutic enhancement when appropriate for symptom management.

Using an eclectic, holistic approach, she aims to help people discover inner resources, self-worth, and clarity while learning practical boundaries and self-care. Her practice emphasizes empowerment, emotional regulation, and the development of new meanings as part of ongoing personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Victoria De Lissovoy draws on Imago Relationship Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide online work. Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on turning relationship conflicts into opportunities for connection by exploring underlying longings and interaction patterns - it is often used for couples and intimacy-related issues. Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for addressing abandonment, communication problems, and family of origin issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and relaxation practices that support stress reduction, emotional regulation, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Victoria works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and the strategies that fit their needs, adjusting methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor care for parenting, grief, addictions, career challenges, and other concerns.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit daily life and mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in treatment, access licensed professionals from different locations, and integrate therapy into a busy routine.
