Therapeutic approaches and remote care that fit your life
Vivian uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and situations that feel stuck by focusing on what matters most to the client and building psychological flexibility.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach she employs; it involves identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and learning practical skills to change them. CBT can help with mood concerns, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and problem-solving around everyday challenges.
Client-Centered Therapy informs her overall stance in sessions, meaning she prioritizes a respectful, empathetic relationship and collaborates with clients to set goals and pace the work. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Vivian works together with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences so the plan feels tailored and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access licensed professionals without traveling long distances, while preserving a collaborative, goal-focused therapy experience.
