Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Viviane often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult emotions while committing to actions that align with their values - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, offering a supportive space where clients lead the conversation and gain self-understanding. CBT targets the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, mood challenges, and unhelpful patterns.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Viviane collaborates with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and goal-focused.
Online therapy with Viviane is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and travel, and support connections with therapists when in-person sessions are not possible.
