About Vivia
Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to identity and trauma. Sessions are conducted in English and she also accepts international clients.
She focuses on concrete, practical steps people can try between sessions. That includes noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses to them. Dr. Hill-Silcott uses a mix of methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, DBT skills, EFT ideas, and mindfulness practices when those approaches fit the client's needs.
She uses assessment tools to clarify what is driving a concern and to track progress. Conversations tend to be direct and conversational, with time spent making clear behavior and thinking changes that a person can practice. The work often includes skill-building for emotion regulation, coping with panic or intrusive thoughts, and strategies for managing relationship or identity-related stress.
Her approach pays attention to how identity and culture shape experience. That means talking about race, sexual orientation, and other identities as part of the problem-solving work when relevant. Practical topics such as forgiveness, guilt, shame, and rebuilding self-esteem are common focuses.
Clients who want structured, skills-based help will find sessions aimed at short-term goals and longer-term coping. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to clarify goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and testing small behavior changes. Online sessions can carry the same work by using short practice tasks, structured worksheets, and step-by-step behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, address panic, or change negative self-talk.Client-centered methods emphasize listening and reflecting. In an online session that means the therapist uses open questions and reflective summaries to help a person organize feelings and priorities, which suits work on grief, identity, and self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as goals evolve or new concerns appear.
The profile does not specify which session delivery formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a choice about using video or audio depending on what feels most practical. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so the therapy remains focused and structured.
