About Vivian
Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and relationship struggles. She draws on practical approaches to help clients build coping skills and make clearer choices in daily life. Vivian writes plainly and works in a direct, nonjudgmental way to help people feel less alone with their problems.
With ten years as an LPC in Wyoming, she has worked with people facing mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, as well as trauma, grief, and parenting stress. Her background also includes supporting those dealing with compassion fatigue, career changes, and ADHD-related struggles. Vivian lists codependency among her additional focus areas and incorporates that concern into sessions when relevant.
Her style combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and existential ideas. Sessions tend to emphasize practical skills, clearer thinking, and values-based choices. She aims to help people notice what matters to them and find manageable steps forward.
Vivian encourages collaborative goal setting and skill practice between sessions. She often uses brief, solution-focused conversations when appropriate and adjusts pacing to each person’s needs. The work is aimed at everyday change, such as better emotion management, improved communication, and healthier coping habits.

How her approaches guide online therapy choices
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, codependency concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it often targets anxiety, depression, and impulsive or avoidant behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective and priorities, offering a nonjudgmental space to talk through problems and build self-directed goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they land, and adjusting course together rather than sticking to one set plan.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual meetings helpful for keeping continuity during life changes and for practicing skills in real contexts, though the therapist will discuss what will work best for each person.
