About Vivian
Vivian Windsor is a Tennessee-licensed counselor - LPC-MHSP - with 35 years of clinical experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, and difficult transitions.
Her practice addresses practical problems such as codependency, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and the strains that affect men, women, and young adults. First responders are listed among the groups she has experience with.
In sessions she uses clear, direct methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Techniques come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused tools. The aim is to reduce reactivity and build steady coping skills rather than offering quick fixes.
Vivian encourages straightforward goals like managing outbursts, lowering daily tension, or changing addictive habits. She helps people break problems into small steps and practice new behaviors between sessions. Progress often looks like fewer impulsive reactions and more confidence handling triggers.
Practical matters such as scheduling and cost are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Vivian does not accept international clients. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals for managing anger and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change reactive patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce impulsive responses and lower tension.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean practicing CBT exercises, adding short mindfulness practices, or using motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or offer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discuss format and scheduling during the matching process so sessions support everyday life and steady practice of new skills.
