About Vivian
Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and tough life changes. She uses clear, practical methods to help people move forward. Vivian works with concerns like depression, grief, anger, and low self-esteem.
She also supports people facing career questions, parenting strain, and complicated relationship patterns. Vivian blends several therapy approaches to match each person’s situation. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-driven steps.
How Vivian works
Client-Centered Therapy is part of her work too, which means she listens closely and shapes sessions around each person’s goals. Her style is straightforward and solution-focused. Sessions emphasize building coping skills, improving communication, and making practical changes that fit everyday life.
She can help with substance use concerns, impulsivity, and issues like codependency or forgiveness. Vivian brings ten years of counseling experience to her practice. She has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, hospice and end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, and grief.
That background informs how she supports people through crisis and major transitions. Therapy sessions can include coaching elements when clients want career guidance or clearer life direction. Vivian encourages collaboration - she and the client set goals together and track progress along the way.

Online support options
Therapy approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a warm, listening relationship where the therapist follows the person’s priorities and supports their own problem solving.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Vivian will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize ACT, CBT, or a client-centered style for a given concern.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for deeper conversation and body language cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and travel schedules.
