About Vivian

Vivian Fleming is an LPCC with 25 years of clinical experience based in Kentucky. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting and family concerns. She also works with issues such as grief, addiction, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and anger.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to point out patterns of thought and behavior and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions.

Vivian has long experience helping adults navigate difficult changes at home and at work. She pays attention to how shame, isolation, and past wounds affect current relationships. Conversations include practical ways to cope day to day and steps to rebuild trust in oneself.

Sessions look at communication problems, commitment worries, caregiving stress, and issues that follow separation or divorce. She also addresses trauma-related reactions such as dissociation and impulsivity, using EMDR where appropriate alongside mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.

Her style is collaborative and direct. Clients can expect clear, evidence-based techniques mixed with listening and reflection. She accepts international clients and holds licensure as an Ohio LPCC and a Kentucky LPCC.

How sessions work

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps clients clarify priorities, feel heard, and decide on next steps for home life or relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It is used to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful habits that affect everyday life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. These skills can help with impulsivity, anger, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vivian will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs and then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, avoid travel, or choose a session length that fits a work break. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for schedules, camera use, and the pace of sessions.
