Vivian Windsor

Vivian Windsor is a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with 35 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people find practical ways to cope day to day.

She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can include cognitive-behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and solution-focused steps for immediate problems. Sessions also draw on motivational interviewing when addiction or ambivalence about change is present.

Vivian has long worked with concerns around addiction, anger, and codependency. She also helps people facing divorce or separation, family of origin issues, and the guilt and shame that often follow difficult choices. Her experience includes supporting first responders and young adults through transitions.

Her work emphasizes building self-love, resilience, and healthier coping skills. Conversations are practical and aimed at clearer actions and small gains. The goal is to help people feel steadier and more in control of their lives.

Vivian practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English. The next step is to use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's pace to build trust and clarity; it helps people feel heard and more able to name what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels mixed about changing behaviors, such as with drug or alcohol use, by exploring personal goals and strengthening motivation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques and adjusting plans until the client feels progress and the sessions are useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. It also permits shorter check-ins when needed and avoids being on camera if someone prefers phone-based conversation; check which formats are available when scheduling.
