About Viva
Viva Steed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with addictive behaviors. Viva also supports people working on self-esteem, motivation, and career-related coaching needs.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Viva encourages small, doable steps toward change rather than overwhelming plans.
Her work draws on methods that help people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new habits, and stay motivated.
Background and approach
She blends goal-focused techniques with an attitude of listening and respect. That combination is useful for worries, workplace strain, and compassion fatigue. Viva brings 24 years of professional experience to conversations about relationship stress, communication problems, and life transitions such as divorce or separation.
She also helps people facing caregiver strain, family conflict, and issues around substance use. People who prefer clear, action-oriented sessions often do well with her approach. She supports clients in building self-love, improving boundaries, and regaining confidence.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through a range of online formats.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Viva often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in work with stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that make worry worse and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and steady nerves.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening, acceptance, and partnering with the client to set goals. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, pace, and preferences rather than assuming one way will fit everyone.
Online sessions let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to schedule during a break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options provide flexibility for different routines and comfort levels while keeping therapeutic work focused and practical.
