About Vivian

Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming. She brings a practical, solution-focused style to sessions and aims to help people build skills that ease daily strain. She speaks plainly and works to create a non-judgmental space where clients can talk through painful issues and try new ways of coping.

With ten years of professional experience, she has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and grief. Vivian also helps with anger, self-esteem, career concerns, parenting strain, and life transitions. Her work includes attention to ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to caregiving and hospice situations.

Vivian uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and existential ideas. In practice she focuses on concrete skills - for example thought tracking, grounding, values clarification, and behavior experiments - rather than abstract theory.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and clear goals. She helps people set small, achievable steps and practices between meetings to build momentum. Over time clients often learn new patterns of thinking and behavior that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

Her approach is direct but warm, encouraging clients to try realistic strategies and adjust them as needed. To start, a short questionnaire and a scheduling step help match needs and set up the first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care

Vivian frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking steps that match those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot patterns of thinking that increase distress and then test new behaviors to change how they feel.

She also brings Client-Centered therapy into sessions, which means she pays close attention to each person's perspective and supports them without judgment. These approaches aim to give practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's needs, adjusting techniques over time based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online work convenient because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when appropriate. Licensed professionals can guide simple homework, teach grounding and behavioral tools, and help plan gradual changes that fit everyday life.
