Vivian Whetham, LPC

Vivian Whetham is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wyoming with ten years of clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, career transitions, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Vivian takes a direct, solution-focused approach while maintaining a non-judgmental, accepting stance. She emphasizes practical coping skills that help clients manage emotions, make healthier decisions, and move toward clearer goals. Counseling with her centers on an honest therapeutic relationship where clients can explore difficulties, rehearse new ways of thinking and behaving, and work toward personal growth and healing.

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy, tailoring these approaches to each person’s needs. As an LPC - a state license to practice professional counseling - Vivian combines clinical training with a supportive, goal-oriented style to help clients create sustainable change and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Vivian commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive, empathic environment where clients' own perspectives and strengths guide the pace and direction of change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Vivian works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, and then tailors methods to fit those needs. Together they evaluate what is helping and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Vivian is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, busy workweeks, or when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, goal-focused therapy across these formats to support lasting change.
