About Vivian
Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming who focuses on practical, skills-based care. She uses clear, down-to-earth language to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and ADHD. Vivian aims to make sessions easy to follow and useful right away.
She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful habits and clarify values. Sessions often include short exercises, concrete tools, and real-life practice rather than lengthy theory.
Background and approach
The goal is steady progress through small, manageable changes. Vivian has about 10 years of experience supporting people through life transitions, grief, trauma, and career or relationship worries. She pays attention to patterns such as impulsivity, anger, codependency, and problem drinking, and helps clients build practical coping strategies.
Her work also addresses compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and concerns tied to major life disruptions. People meet with her to work on self-esteem, decision-making, and finding purpose alongside symptom relief. Vivian uses a client-centered stance that centers a person’s priorities and choices.
She aims to be nonjudgmental and straightforward while helping people try new approaches and habits. Sessions include discussions about coping skills, behavior changes, and ways to stay motivated between meetings. Vivian supports people who want coaching-style guidance as well as those looking for therapy to navigate complex emotions and situations.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where motivation is a challenge.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and addiction-related behaviors.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend a mix of methods to try. Clients and therapist check in as work progresses and adjust methods if needed.
Online formats can make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief coaching, check-ins between sessions, and people who prefer written conversation. These options increase flexibility for scheduling and for using tools between appointments.
