Vivia Hill-Silcott, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She draws on practical tools and calm conversation to help people change what feels stuck. She offers straightforward support for worries like panic, obsessive thoughts, addiction, low self-esteem, and anger.

How Vivia works
She frames work around the person sitting across from her, not a label. Her style centers on warm dialogue and collaborative problem solving. She listens first, then uses techniques from client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, and mindfulness to build skills.
Sessions often include exercises, feedback, and practical steps to try between meetings. Dr. Hill-Silcott brings eight years of experience and an emphasis on identity and intersectionality.
She uses assessments when they add clarity and talks openly about how race, sexual orientation, and culture shape experience. Her aim is honest conversation that leads to clearer choices. People who prefer an approachable, direct therapist may find her helpful.
She supports goal-setting and coaching alongside therapy work. The focus is on small, sustainable changes that make daily life easier and more meaningful.

Approaches for online growth and coping
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and clarified so they can make decisions and act on goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and reactive behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns and try methods together, adjusting based on what works and what feels comfortable. Clients and the therapist collaborate to set goals and test practical strategies in everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and let people use the format that best fits their routine and comfort.
