About Vivian

Vivian Litterell is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing parenting challenges, family stress, and life changes. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and self-esteem. Her tone is practical and respectful, aiming to support people who are unsure where to begin.

Vivian brings 28 years of experience as an Oklahoma LPC. She uses straightforward talk to identify immediate concerns and practical steps. Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans.

Background and approach

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to be heard and to set their own pace.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build on strengths and find quick, actionable solutions. Trauma-Focused Therapy guides work when painful events need careful attention and pacing. Vivian offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a reader would use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How Vivian’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to them in therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to shift patterns that cause distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses painful events with careful pacing and coping skills to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Vivian collaborates with each person to test approaches and adjust plans based on goals and comfort. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to emphasize as progress unfolds.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging offer brief check-ins and flexible communication. These options help people maintain continuity of care, try different formats, and schedule sessions around daily responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
