About Vivian
Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming with ten years of counseling experience. She focuses on common life stresses including anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, career strain, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. Vivian helps people develop coping skills and looks for practical ways to reduce ongoing stress.
Her approach is straightforward and solution-focused. Sessions involve talking through current problems, learning concrete strategies to manage reactions, and practicing new behaviors between meetings. She uses well-established therapy methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Vivian draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose values-based actions. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep conversations grounded in the person’s experience. When strong emotions or impulsivity show up, she integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build regulation and distress tolerance.
She works with clients on a range of concerns beyond anger, including ADHD-related struggles, career transitions, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance issues. Practical problem solving, skill-building, and short-term goal planning are common parts of her work.
Sessions emphasize clear tools you can use right away. Vivian asks about daily routines, stress triggers, and patterns in relationships to make interventions applicable to real life. People working with her can expect direct feedback, step-by-step strategies, and homework that focuses on measurable change.
How ACT, CBT, and DBT are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful when anger or anxiety gets in the way of things you care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses to reduce reactivity. It is practical for work stress, repetitive anger, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who struggle with intense feelings or impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, daily challenges, and preferences, and then recommend methods that fit. She will adjust strategies over time based on what helps you make steady progress.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when things are busy. Therapists commonly blend skills practice, behavioral assignments, and in-session coaching so that tools learned online can be applied in everyday life.
