About Vivian
Vivian Windsor is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with 35 years of clinical experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and coping with life changes, and she lists young adult issues among her areas of attention.
Vivian uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens and helps people name what feels hardest right now. She works with practical strategies for managing strong emotions and breaking cycles that keep problems repeating.
Her work often addresses the impact of family of origin issues, codependency, and relationship strain after divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction, guilt and shame, and challenges tied to first responder roles. Vivian talks through concrete steps for coping and for making small, sustainable changes.
Sessions include talking about thought patterns, testing out new ways of responding, and practicing mindful attention to reduce reactivity. She helps clients build routine skills for self-care, self-regard, and clearer boundaries. The tone is direct and practical, aimed at people who want tools they can use between appointments.
Young adults who feel overwhelmed by work, school, money, relationships, or identity questions may find the focus helpful. Vivian combines long experience with approaches that emphasize present goals and real-world problem solving.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and helping people reflect on what matters to them; it supports building self-understanding and clearer choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anxiety and stress.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting tools as progress is made.
