About Vivian

Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, solution-oriented help. She emphasizes clear steps clients can use to ease stress, manage anxiety, address addictions, and build self-esteem. Vivian writes and talks plainly so people can try new coping skills between sessions.

She brings ten years of experience working with career questions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar symptoms. Her background also includes supporting people facing caregiver strain, codependency, and substance use issues. Vivian aims to be nonjudgmental and straightforward in working through problems.

In sessions she uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. That mix lets her tailor work to skills practice, values clarification, emotion regulation, and problem solving. She helps people learn tools they can use day to day.

Vivian focuses on building coping skills for anger, impulsivity, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and end-of-life concerns. Her style tends to be direct and solution-focused while remaining accepting of the person in front of her.

People who want a practical, steady approach may find her style helpful. She encourages a collaborative process where goals are clear and progress is tracked with real steps. To begin, readers can follow the site’s steps to connect and schedule.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, life changes, and building clearer goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing impulses. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, accepting relationship where the person sets the pace and goals for change and feels heard during the process.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the work stays relevant to the client’s life.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals also use the online setting to guide skill practice, coach through coping strategies, and help people apply new habits between sessions.
