Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and direction of work. It helps people who need a space to explore feelings, build self-awareness and strengthen their own problem-solving capacity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related difficulties where structured tools and exercises can lead to measurable changes.

The Gottman Method is targeted at couple relationships and concentrates on improving communication, reducing conflict and rebuilding trust through research-based interventions. It is useful for partners wanting practical ways to manage disagreements and deepen connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Vivienne will work collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and effective for the client.

Online therapy with Vivienne is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or distance constraints. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and fit therapy into everyday life while retaining the therapeutic focus and continuity of care that licensed professionals and therapists provide.
