About Vivian
Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on ten years of practice to offer clear, practical support for common life struggles. Her style is direct and compassionate.
She focuses on building useful skills people can try between sessions. Vivian works with concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, anger, grief, and issues with self-esteem. She also helps people with career transitions, coping with life changes, and the strain that comes from caregiving or burnout.
Background and approach
Her approach is goal-oriented and rooted in real-world tools rather than long lectures. Therapy sessions often center on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small changes. Techniques include cognitive behavioral work to adjust thoughts and behaviors, acceptance strategies to manage difficult feelings, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to improve emotion regulation.
She also uses client-centered principles to keep the conversation grounded in each person's values and goals. Vivian frames counseling as a collaboration. She guides people to try new coping strategies and then reviews what helps.
This lets people build confidence and better decision-making over time. She encourages step-by-step progress instead of expecting quick fixes. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
People who speak English and live in Wyoming can work with her through the site's matching process. Getting started begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most. It encourages mindful awareness and committed action to live in line with personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and problem behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, useful for people who struggle with impulsivity or strong mood swings.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they experiment with techniques and adjust the plan so it fits the person's needs and life circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill teaching and deeper work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text sessions are useful for short check-ins, coaching, or when writing helps clarify a problem. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to practice new skills in everyday life.
