Victoria De Lissovoy, LCSW

Victoria De Lissovoy brings more than 30 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker), psychotherapist, and behavioral health specialist who has worked with diverse populations and age ranges in a variety of practice settings. She combines long-term clinical training with a flexible, person-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, addictions, and a broad range of life transitions.

She is a Certified Advanced Clinician through the Institute for Imago Therapy, Imago Relationships International, and uses that training to guide intentional work on mind-body awareness, emotional regulation, self-acceptance, and integration. As a Medicare provider, she also enjoys working with older adults as they navigate the life stage of generativity vs. chaos and despair, supporting balance, stabilization, and grief processing while addressing practical stressors.

In addition to her clinical role, Victoria is a music educator and performing jazz pianist who produces concert events. Maintaining two careers allows her to support artists in their creative processes and to incorporate musical perspectives as therapeutic enhancement when helpful for symptom management. Her eclectic, holistic practice emphasizes discovering inner wisdom, self-worth, healthy boundaries, and practical self-care, often using structured meditation and relaxation techniques to reduce stress and cultivate greater resilience.

Attachment, Imago, and Mindfulness in Online Care

Victoria De Lissovoy integrates several evidence-informed approaches into online therapy to address emotional, relational, and life-stage concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and coping - it helps with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems by exploring relational histories and building safer ways to relate. Imago Relationship Therapy, for which she is a Certified Advanced Clinician, uses a structured, dialog-based method to deepen understanding between partners and to foster repair, empathy, and emotional regulation within relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance emotional self-regulation, which can support grief work, anxiety, and caregiver fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Victoria works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on needs, preferences, and what is most effective for the person or couple.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, travel, or when in-person visits are difficult. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, try different session formats, and access licensed therapists from a broader geographic area.
