About Vivian
Vivian Windsor is a licensed professional counselor with 35 years of experience in Tennessee. She uses a client-centered approach to help people manage strong feelings like anger, anxiety, and depression in everyday life. She guides people through stress and life changes with clear, practical steps.
Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving self-care, and reducing the impact of intense emotions on daily routines. Vivian has long worked with issues related to addiction, codependency, and family of origin concerns.
Background and approach
She helps people untangle patterns that feed guilt, shame, and repeated conflicts so they can make calmer choices. Her work also covers divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, and problems that affect men, women, and young adults. First responders and those facing high-pressure roles can find tools to manage reactions and rebuild resilience.
Therapy with Vivian blends straightforward conversation, mindfulness practices, and goal-focused techniques. Clients learn practical strategies they can use between sessions to handle triggers and reduce reactivity. To begin, she asks about immediate concerns and what matters most to each person.
From there she helps set short-term goals and a simple plan for change that fits daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the screen. It emphasizes empathy and building understanding so people feel heard and can explore what they want to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors a step at a time. It works well for anger, anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear exercises and homework to practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These short exercises are easy to use during a video call or as daily routines between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes online work feel tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text messaging offer flexibility to fit therapy into real life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for role play and guided exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter updates, ongoing support, or when written reflection helps reinforce skills.
