01About Viva
Viva Steed greets people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, or low self-esteem. She focuses on clear, practical steps and listens without judgment. Her goal is to help clients build confidence and find workable next steps toward a better day-to-day life.
She brings 24 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia. That background includes helping people with addiction concerns, workplace stress, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She also supports those navigating divorce and separation, communication breakdowns, and issues around self-love and women's concerns. In sessions she creates a calm, open space where clients can speak honestly. Conversations center on what matters now and what the client wants to change.
She uses straightforward tools to address unhelpful thoughts, set goals, and rebuild motivation. Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical techniques. That means the client’s goals guide the work while the therapist offers strategies from cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused thinking.
Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or feeling stuck. Clients can expect a collaborative process that aims for small, steady steps. Sessions focus on skill-building, clearer communication, and realistic plans for managing cravings, stress, or low confidence.
The tone is supportive and practical, with attention to what fits each person’s life.

04Online support
Approaches that fit online therapy and everyday life
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the client’s perspective. The therapist follows the client’s priorities and helps them name what matters most, which is useful for people dealing with stress, low confidence, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It gives concrete tools for anxiety, compulsive habits, and managing cravings in addiction recovery.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Short breathing or grounding exercises can help with workplace stress and compassion fatigue when feelings get intense.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches based on goals, needs, and what feels doable. That means plans can shift as progress is made or circumstances change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see body language and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style contacts, or maintaining momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
