Everyone has a story. Mine starts here in Upstate New York, where I was born and raised. It was here that I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My work on the frontlines of mental health care has given me insight into the challenges individuals face and the systemic changes needed to improve outcomes — both of which inform my practice!
Beyond my professional life, I’m also a proud dog mom to my seven-year-old Morkie, Jax. When I'm not working, you might find me with a warm cup of chai, and a book in hand. Also, I love learning. I recently completed my second master's degree: my MBA through SUNY Oswego, with a focus in healthcare administration.
Most importantly, I thoroughly enjoy the work I do with my clients- supporting others on their unique journeys.
As I mentioned before, everyone has a story.
I look forward to hearing yours.

Hi, I’m Victoria Nielsen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. Whether you’re coming to therapy for the first time, returning after time away, or simply looking for support as you navigate the day-to-day challenges of life, I want you to feel comfortable bringing your whole self into the room.
I work with young adults and adults experiencing anxiety, big or overwhelming emotions, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, life transitions, or feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. I also enjoy working with individuals who consider themselves highly sensitive or who experience emotions and the world around them deeply. Sometimes there’s a specific concern bringing you to therapy, and other times you may simply feel that something isn’t quite right or that you want to better understand yourself.
Clients have described me as warm, non-judgemental, and easy to talk to. I also believe there is room for humor and moments of lightness in therapy, even when we’re working through difficult things. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be yourself, feel comfortable being honest, and know that you’ll be met without judgment.

My therapeutic style is to ask a lot of questions and really try to find the answers to what is bothering you. In our sessions, you will cry, laugh, talk excessively or talk a little. Our sessions will be all about you and what you need in the moment. I want our sessions to be a safe place for you to be comfortable. Bring your treats and your tissues. Bring your patience and your strength. We will be together and I will support you when you are feeling weak. Usually, I see what makes you special first. You will need to tell me what is wrong.
