About Vivia
With eight years of clinical experience, she blends practical strategies with a warm conversational style. She uses approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness to meet people where they are. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping skills, and understanding how identity and culture shape a person's experience.
Her background includes work with college-age clients and communities navigating intersectional identity concerns. She uses assessment tools to clarify problems and track progress. She emphasizes resilience and helps clients notice small changes that lead to steadier functioning.
In sessions she aims to create a welcoming dialogue. That tone makes it easier for people to talk honestly about what they are feeling. Practical techniques and short-term goals are mixed with attention to deeper emotional patterns.
Her approach is collaborative: she and the client decide what to try and adjust plans when needed. The focus is on regaining a sense of control, improving relationships, and increasing day-to-day well-being.
How therapy approaches guide online care
Client-centered therapy centers on the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings, helping people clarify values and choose next steps that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical experiments to change behaviors and mood. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps the person in day-to-day life.
