   About Vivia

   Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around identity and discrimination. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to support people dealing with addictions, trauma, panic, obsessive thoughts, low self-esteem, and work or career transitions. She also addresses forgiveness, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue in her work.

   Dr. Hill-Silcott takes a conversational, warm approach. She listens first and asks questions to understand what matters most to each person. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, and she combines that with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas when they fit.

   Her background includes work with college students and with African-American young people around identity and resilience. She uses assessment tools when helpful to clarify problems and track progress. Dr. Hill-Silcott emphasizes cultural context and identity as part of the process rather than as an add-on.

   Sessions focus on practical steps and on building skills for managing strong feelings. People can expect clear goals, short-term strategies for coping, and a chance to look at patterns that get in the way of living the life they want. The tone is direct but compassionate.

   She is based in Georgia and works in English. For those who want online help from outside the United States, international clients are accepted. To start, readers are asked to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule with her.

2. How these approaches can work online

   Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build motivation for steps like reducing substance use or changing unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes respect, warmth, and listening. It helps people feel heard and understood, which can make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and low mood.
   
   Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and comfort.
   
   Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life, since scheduling can be more flexible and travel time is removed. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is helpful, or make it easier to choose audio-only meetings if bandwidth or camera use is challenging. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking so sessions match your daily routine and technical needs.
