About Vivian

Vivian Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, grief, depression, and issues related to sexual identity. Vivian also addresses concerns like attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that lead to intense reactions, and on building practical skills to respond differently. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with emotion-focused methods to help people notice thoughts and feelings that fuel anger and frustration.

Vivian uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current responses. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep discussions grounded in each person’s priorities. Dialectical behavior strategies appear in work on emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

In therapy she pays attention to relationships and how they affect mood and behavior. That includes exploring family of origin patterns, commitment and control issues, and dynamics around kink and alternative sex culture when relevant. The goal is clearer communication and more manageable emotional responses.

Practical steps are central: learning how to pause, practice different responses, and test new ways of interacting. People who want plain, skills-focused work around anger and relationship strain will find this style direct and action oriented.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in earlier relationships and how they show up now. Online sessions can use that model to map triggers in current partnerships and to try different ways of relating when emotions spike.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means learning to identify unhelpful thoughts that escalate anger and testing small behavior changes between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vivian will collaborate with each client to choose which methods to emphasize based on their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with skills for emotion regulation, then shifting to attachment or communication work as needed.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice new responses in everyday settings, then bring those experiences back to sessions for review.
