Background and approach
Her work draws on several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build different coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, short-term goals and track progress.
Vivian also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for talking. Motivational Interviewing is part of sessions when people want help finding motivation to change habits or routines. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are affecting current functioning.
Sessions focus on what the person needs right now. Conversations include skill-building, problem-solving, and decisions about next steps. Vivian emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support throughout the process.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. Sessions emphasize empathy, listening, and tailoring the conversation to what matters most. This approach helps with anxiety, self-esteem, and life changes by creating a steady place to talk things through.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. In online sessions this becomes practical work: noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new skills between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying one method for a few sessions and then adjusting based on progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a calmer setup is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to continue work consistently over time.
