About Viva
Viva Steed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also supports those looking for coaching around motivation, confidence, and workplace challenges. Viva presents a calm, nonjudgmental presence to make it easier to take the first steps toward change.
She uses a conversational, client-centered way of working that focuses on each person's goals. Sessions are built around listening, practical skill-building, and small steps that fit into everyday life. Viva also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help spot unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns that maintain worry or low mood.
Mindfulness practices and solution-focused ideas often appear in sessions to help clients manage stress and notice what works. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help to build or maintain change, such as reducing substance use or improving self-care. The result is a mix of talking, reflective exercises, and doable actions between sessions.
Viva has 24 years of professional experience working in Georgia. Her approach aims to be collaborative and down-to-earth so people feel supported while they try new ways of coping. If you want straightforward help with workplace stress, caregiving strain, relationship communication, or substance concerns, she can work with you to set realistic goals and track progress.
To begin, the process typically involves a short match questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment where priorities and next steps are agreed on together.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities. The therapist follows your lead, helps you clarify goals, and offers support as you try new ways of coping. This approach is useful for stress, workplace concerns, and building confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and routines, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple breathing or awareness exercises to lower reactivity to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and what feels comfortable, then recommend ways to proceed. That collaboration makes it easier to pick approaches that actually fit your life.
Because the biography does not list specific online session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting appointments around work, caregiving, or travel, and for keeping check-ins brief when needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice new skills between sessions and to maintain momentum while juggling day-to-day responsibilities.
