Victoria De Lissovoy

Victoria De Lissovoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of practice in Florida. She brings long experience as a psychotherapist and behavioral health specialist to help people facing life transitions and ongoing stress. Her background also includes work with older adults and with people who identify as LGBT.

She combines psychotherapy with mindfulness and relaxation techniques that are simple to learn. Sessions often include attention to breathing, guided relaxation, and practices that help reduce anxiety and improve emotional balance. Victoria also brings an interest in creative work and sometimes uses musical insight from her life as a jazz pianist to support therapeutic goals.

Victoria takes a client-centered stance that focuses on each person’s strengths and values. She pays attention to attachment patterns and relationship dynamics when those issues affect mood, self-esteem, or work life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and to try practical behavior changes.

People who come to her often want help with stress, anxiety, career concerns, relationship challenges, parenting strain, grief, or problems with mood and addictions. She works with complex life problems like caregiving stress, blended family situations, and forgiveness work.

Her stated aim is to help people find inner resources, clearer boundaries, and realistic self-care. New clients begin with small steps and practical strategies to feel steadier and more able to manage daily demands.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how they affect emotions. In practice this means noticing how people relate, identifying repeated patterns, and trying new ways of connecting that reduce anxiety and conflict. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and strengths, offering space to be heard and to build self-trust through supportive conversation and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches simple steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that can lift mood and lower worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then try techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also let someone use a phone call instead of video when bandwidth or a quieter setting is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness, attachment-focused conversation, and CBT exercises to an online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions.
