About Vivian
Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming who focuses on practical, real-world help. She approaches sessions with clarity and directness, aiming to teach coping skills for issues like anger, anxiety, addiction, and major life changes. Vivian keeps language simple and focuses on what a person can do next.
With ten years of counseling experience, she uses tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered methods.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize small, repeatable steps - breathing and grounding, noticing thoughts, setting boundaries, and choosing values-driven actions. Vivian teaches techniques people can use between sessions. She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma and abuse, and the stresses of caregiving and parenting.
Additional areas include communication problems, impulsivity, codependency, and coping after natural or human-caused disaster. The aim is to reduce intense reactions and improve day-to-day functioning. Vivian works with people to set clear goals and to measure progress in concrete ways.
She favors a collaborative style where clients help shape the work and try out strategies that fit their life. The tone in sessions is straightforward and nonjudgmental. Therapy is offered in English and is conducted online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people connect with what matters to them and take small actions even when feelings are hard. It focuses on values and practical steps rather than trying to remove difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person and their goals, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's pace and perspective.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try out methods, and adjust based on what works. That process helps identify whether ACT, CBT, client-centered methods, or a blend fits best for managing emotions like anger and for handling life transitions.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can make consistent work easier. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, shorter skill practice, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum as they try new skills.
