About Vivia
Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with eight years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, anger, and related concerns. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.
Her style is conversational and practical. She prefers direct dialogue with clients and uses assessment tools to clarify what’s happening. That information guides chosen techniques from different approaches rather than a single method.
She draws from client-centered work to keep the focus on the person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offer concrete skills for managing intense feelings and impulsive reactions. Mindfulness strategies are used to build attention and reduce reactivity.
Dr. Hill-Silcott also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships and attachment issues are central. She emphasizes how identity and culture shape feelings and reactions, including anger linked to prejudice, discrimination, or identity conflict.
Practical goals in sessions include recognizing triggers, learning breathing and grounding techniques, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and trying out different communication moves. She uses assessments to track progress and to help clients see what changes are happening.
Clients coming for anger concerns can expect clear conversation about what sparks their reactions, some skill-building, and collaborative planning for situations that tend to escalate. The tone aims to be steady and direct, focused on workable steps rather than abstract theory.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Hill-Silcott commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her practice. CBT involves identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical skills to reduce impulsive reactions and strong emotional responses.She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the person’s experience and priorities. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together; she collaborates with clients to match techniques to their goals and daily life demands.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, let someone check in during a break at work, or choose a shorter phone or video check-in when that suits day-to-day life. The emphasis is on practical access and applying skills where problems actually occur rather than on any single way of meeting.
