About Vivian
Vivian Windsor is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with 35 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and life changes. Vivian also offers support around codependency, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues.
Her approach is direct and practical. She uses client-centered methods to listen and help people sort out what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behavior patterns. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to steady attention and reduce reactivity in heated moments.
Vivian brings long experience with addiction and first responder concerns, and she helps people dealing with guilt, shame, or relationship strain. She also supports men and women working on self-love and young adults finding their feet after big changes. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings, not just talk about problems.
Clients can expect goal-focused conversations that look at what works now and what to try next. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy inform short-term plans when action is needed. The emphasis is on practical steps for changing patterns that feed anger, resentment, or recurring stress.
Her work aims to reduce the hold of old patterns and increase coping choices. People who want to manage temper, improve boundaries, or address substance-related struggles will find a practitioner who pairs listening with clear strategies. Vivian practices in Tennessee and works in English.
How her approaches transfer to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. Online sessions keep the same emphasis on being heard and on practical problem solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and worksheets or in-session experiments can be used just as they are in person. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity in moments of anger or stress and these practices adapt well to remote sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose which methods to try based on goals, situation, and what fits into everyday life. That plan can change as progress is made and new challenges arise.
The logistics of remote sessions should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask which session formats are currently offered and pick what fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people practice coping tools where stress actually happens, which can make skills more usable between meetings.
