Tired of feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or anxious? Do you find yourself overthinking or worrying about any and everything? Do you experience a rapid heart beat, sweaty palms, dry mouth and shaking? Feeling on edge, irritable or tense? All these things keep you from enjoying your life. They hold you back in your career or in relationships or other areas of life. You want to feel at ease and less stressed out. You want to go after what you want without second guessing yourself.


I help client's develop life-changing habits that allow them to cope with any of life’s various obstacles that provokes anxiety. During therapy sessions we will work together to identify goals and map out a plan to reach those goals. You'll receive tools that you can start using today and the validation and care that you deserve.


You will find a supportive, non judgmental, safe space to share. Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation so I can answer any questions you have before we get started.

Victoria Oblisk

Victoria Oblisk

Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Hi, I’m Victoria Oblisk, LPCC, LICDC. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Public Health from Hiram College and my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kent State University.

I became a therapist because I’ve always been drawn to people’s stories; the parts of life that are heavy, complicated, and often carried alone for too long. My work is centered around helping people feel less alone in what they’re going through and more supported as they move toward healing.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, stress, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck internally.

I’ve completed extensive additional training throughout my career, including EMDR therapy, which helps clients process experiences that still feel “stuck” or unresolved.

My goal is to create a space that feels safe, grounded, and real; where you don’t have to have it all together, and you don’t have to go through things alone

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Ohio

Searching for therapists in Ohio starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Across a state with large metro areas, smaller cities, and rural communities, available therapists and care options can vary by location. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare Ohio therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience listed in each bio, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.

Location and format also matter when choosing therapy in Ohio. If you live near Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati, you may have a wider range of in-person options, while virtual appointments can expand your search across more licensed Ohio therapists. Consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their schedule works with yours. Reading a therapist’s profile can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach care before you book.

The cost of Ohio therapy can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you’re ready. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your location and plan as you search, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and is ready to take new patients.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
