About Vivian

Vivian Fleming, LPCC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and many life disruptions. She focuses on practical steps that reduce overwhelm and restore a sense of control. Her work often addresses relationship strain, grief, addiction, ADHD-related difficulties, and questions of life purpose.

Vivian uses a straightforward, person-focused style. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals and try small changes. Sessions emphasize building coping skills, improving communication, and healing from painful past experiences. Techniques come from several evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and EMDR when appropriate.

With 25 years of experience, Vivian draws on a wide clinical background to tailor support to each individual. She pays attention to cultural and workplace contexts, and to how shame, isolation, or caregiver stress show up in daily life. She encourages practical exercises people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and build resilience.

Clients can expect a collaborative relationship focused on concrete steps and self-understanding. Vivian aims to help people reconnect with their values and find clearer direction during difficult transitions. She works with commitment, communication, and control issues alongside mood and trauma-related concerns.

Vivian practices in Kentucky and holds LPCC licensure. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Before scheduling, confirm current session options and logistics to ensure they match your needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions when they face stress, relationship problems, or major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful for strong emotional reactions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or audio-only options when bandwidth is limited; confirm available session formats before booking. Discuss timing, frequency, and any practical needs during the first sessions so therapy fits daily routines and supports steady progress.
