About Vivian

Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who combines practical, evidence-informed methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance. With ten years of clinical experience, she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, career and relationship concerns, trauma and grief, and issues related to ADHD.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes developing concrete coping skills and adaptive thinking patterns so clients can move toward meaningful goals and improved daily functioning. Vivian integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered, and Existential approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She aims to create a nonjudgmental collaborative space where exploration and pragmatic problem-solving coexist. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including mood disorders, substance-related problems, family and communication challenges, impulse control, caregiving stress, and end-of-life issues.

Based in Wyoming, she offers flexible online session formats to fit different schedules. Prospective clients can expect a direct yet empathic style oriented toward skill-building, values clarification, and practical strategies for coping with life transitions and persistent difficulties.

Evidence-Based Therapies Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action toward what matters, while learning to relate differently to unpleasant thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and impulsivity by practicing concrete skills between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can support individuals dealing with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.

Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then recommend or blend methods that fit the client’s situation. Over time techniques are adjusted based on what is helping, with an emphasis on building skills and clarifying values together.

Online therapy with Vivian is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options allow sessions to fit work, caregiving, or geographic constraints and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can deliver structured skill-training, supportive problem-solving, and values-focused work through these channels while accommodating varied schedules and communication styles.
