How therapeutic approaches work online

Vivian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT gives clear exercises and steps to practice between sessions, which many people find useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's own goals and pace. That approach emphasizes listening, respect, and helping people find their own solutions. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these methods to teach simple attention and grounding practices for stress and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Vivian will discuss goals and try methods that match the client's needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time so methods fit the person rather than the other way around.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and texting supports brief updates or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
