About Vivian
Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, grief, parenting questions, mood disorders, and life changes.
Vivian uses direct, practical methods to help people build coping skills. Sessions focus on clear steps you can try between meetings. She draws on cognitive and acceptance-based approaches and skills from dialectical methods to help manage strong emotions and impulsivity.
Her background includes work in career development, disability adjustment, and addiction support. That experience shapes an approach that combines problem-solving with attention to emotional patterns. She aims to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while identifying what matters most to them.
In a typical session Vivian listens without judgment and offers concrete tools. That can mean practicing new ways of responding to anger, building routines to support mood, or learning communication strategies for tense family moments. She also assists with grief, caregiver stress, and issues related to trauma and abuse.
People who come for help leave with skills to use day to day. If you want straightforward guidance on managing stress, parenting strain, or recovery from addiction, she helps you set practical goals and track progress.
Vivian works in English and sees clients in Wyoming. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling options through the service's matching flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with motivation, life purpose, and coping with persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical steps to change them, which suits problems like anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness useful for managing anger, impulsivity, and relationship strains.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit best based on goals, current struggles, and what feels useful in practice. That may mean trying a skills-focused plan for a few weeks, then adjusting as needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find that working with licensed professionals this way helps them keep therapy consistent while managing parenting duties, work breaks, or caregiving responsibilities.
