Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Vivian Whetham
Vivian Whetham uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to support people in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients identify personal values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, non-directive relationship where the therapist offers understanding and support to help the client explore concerns and strengthen self-directed growth.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Vivian works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains practical and aligned with what the client wants to achieve. This partnership helps ensure that methods fit the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or another comfortable setting. Vivian leverages these formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented care that accommodates different communication styles and logistical needs.
