Background and approach

Sessions aim to uncover small habits and thoughts that make daily life harder, then replace them with clearer choices and coping skills. Vivian uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered conversation. She also brings elements of existential and trauma-focused work when it fits the person’s story.

Those methods are combined to match each person's goals rather than applied the same way to everyone. People working with her can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and gentle challenges to try new behaviors between sessions. She often helps clients reframe unhelpful thoughts and create small routines to reduce overwhelm.

Her background includes work with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, isolation, and multicultural concerns. Vivian works in English and practices in Florida as an NC LCSW and FL LCSW.

Using therapy approaches online to manage anxiety and stress

Vivian commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values to guide action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean trying ACT exercises for acceptance one week and practical CBT tools the next, then adjusting based on what helps most.

Online formats she offers include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier with limited bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief exchanges between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and make it easier to keep consistent work on stress and anxiety.
