About Vivian
Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and major life changes. She combines grounded talk with skill-building so clients can handle daily challenges more easily. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and parenting concerns.
Sessions aim to identify small, workable changes and build coping tools that fit into a person's life. Vivian values a direct, nonjudgmental style that keeps conversations focused on what will help next.
Background and approach
Her work draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those approaches are used to clarify values, shift unhelpful thinking, and strengthen practical skills for managing emotion and behavior. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential ideas when they match a person's needs.
Vivian has about ten years of professional experience in counseling. During that time she has helped people address relationship strain, career transitions, caregiver stress, and trauma recovery. She also supports people dealing with anger, impulsivity, and issues related to substance use.
In sessions she helps people set realistic goals and practices to reach them. The work is collaborative - clients and therapist choose which strategies to try and adjust them over time. Vivian offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for therapy.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take action toward those values while letting difficult thoughts pass. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on practical steps rather than fighting every negative thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, offering empathy and support while the client sets the pace and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vivian will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks in on what is or isn’t working and adjusts plans so the approach stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can support shorter check-ins, homework review, or handling immediate steps between sessions. These options aim to make consistent care more reachable and flexible for different routines and needs.
