Vivian Whetham, LPC

Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical, solution-oriented help. She guides people through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes with a straightforward and nonjudgmental style.

Vivian encourages clients to build coping skills they can use right away. Sessions focus on concrete tools for managing mood, improving relationships, and handling career or parenting pressures. She uses clear, everyday language so people can try new strategies between meetings.

Her background includes a decade of counseling experience in Wyoming with work around depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Vivian also supports those facing substance use issues, anger or impulsivity, and people working through divorce or caregiving strain. She helps clients consider life purpose and make practical plans for next steps.

Therapy sessions often include techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening. She also draws on dialectical behavior and existential approaches when they fit a person's needs. The emphasis is on finding what works for each person rather than following a single method.

Vivian asks people to be active in the process. Expect to set small, achievable goals and to practice skills between sessions. If you want straightforward help sorting priorities and handling a midlife change, she offers direct support and collaborative problem solving.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where life goals feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and many everyday struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to build insight and self-direction.

Picking the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. From there, she tailors methods and adjusts them over time so sessions match the client's needs.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try techniques with coaching between appointments and bring questions to the next session for problem solving.
