About Vivian
Vivian Litterell welcomes people looking for steady, practical support during hard times. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 28 years of experience. Vivian writes and speaks plainly, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or an overwhelmed adult.
Vivian uses straightforward talk to help people sort through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting strain. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, mood differences such as bipolar disorder, attention challenges like ADHD, and life changes that leave someone feeling unsteady.
How Vivian works
Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that can reduce overwhelm. Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and tailoring the process to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools help set short-term goals and find workable next steps. Trauma-focused methods are used when painful past events need direct attention. Vivian’s style is respectful and down-to-earth.
She aims to empower people to try things between sessions and to notice what helps. Her long experience in Oklahoma informs practical ways to cope with parenting challenges, family conflict, caregiving stress, and relationship communication issues. People who prefer clear guidance and gentle encouragement often feel comfortable with Vivian.
She guides conversations so clients can name priorities, make a plan, and track small changes that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Vivian uses client-centered work to prioritize the person’s goals and pace, creating space to name worries and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right way to work is part of the process. Vivian will help clients decide which approaches fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She uses a collaborative tone, checking in about what is helpful and adjusting the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging works for shorter updates or reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people choose what feels most practical for their day.
