About Viviane

Viviane brings eight years of professional experience in social work and counseling. She uses practical tools drawn from several approaches to help people sort confusing feelings and patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room to notice emotions and test new ways of relating to others. She often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape connections and responses. Viviane also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small action steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques may be added to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. People working through trauma, relationship hurt, adoption and foster care concerns, or immigration-related stress may find the pacing and focus helpful. She also supports those facing guilt, shame, isolation, blended family questions, and career transitions.
Viviane holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and is licensed in Illinois and Nevada where noted. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online or by phone.

Online support
How therapy approaches fit into online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships. It helps people identify what they feel in the moment and use that information to change how they respond to others and themselves. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes clarifying what matters most and taking small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for reducing avoidance and building a steadier daily routine. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, giving space for the person to lead the pace and topics while the therapist follows with empathy and reflection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the focus as needed so sessions match real-life needs and day-to-day challenges.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone while keeping appointments from wherever they are. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work or a walk. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a way to check in between sessions or use brief coaching techniques without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try new skills consistently.
