About Vivian
Vivian Windsor is an LPC-MHSP licensed counselor in Tennessee with 35 years of experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and life transitions. Vivian also focuses on codependency, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, and related concerns such as guilt and shame.
Vivian draws on straightforward, practical methods to help people change unhelpful patterns that began in childhood or in family relationships. Sessions often include clear goal-setting, skill practice, and check-ins on what is working. She uses techniques that help people notice thoughts and reactions, try new behaviors, and make concrete adjustments in daily life.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults facing substance use and relationship strain. That work informs her approach to anger management and addiction-related concerns. She pays attention to how early family roles and expectations continue to affect choices and feelings in adulthood.
People who come for help leave with specific tools they can use between sessions. Those tools may include mindful breathing, steps to change thinking patterns, and small behavioral experiments to reduce stress. Vivian blends listening with practical steps so sessions stay focused and usable.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Vivian commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people articulate what matters to them so they can set their own goals. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches steps to interrupt unhelpful thinking and test new actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her approach. It involves short practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, useful for anger and cravings. These approaches are explained in simple terms and paired with clear exercises to try between meetings.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust them over time based on what is useful.
