About Viva

Viva Steed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and low self-esteem. She uses a straightforward, supportive style to help clients find clearer next steps. Viva emphasizes practical change and steady support during difficult transitions like separation or major life shifts.

She works to create an open setting where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on building motivation, strengthening confidence, and developing coping skills that fit day-to-day life. Viva also offers executive and professional coaching for people balancing work pressures alongside personal strain.

Her approach blends several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to challenge unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals at the center of the work so conversations stay relevant and respectful.

Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help with stress and managing urges tied to addiction. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who want to find their own reasons to change and stay committed. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, short-term goals and track progress.

Viva’s background spans 24 years of professional experience in Georgia. She aims to partner with people ready to take small, realistic steps toward feeling better. To begin, prospective clients can use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Viva uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and values, so conversations reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices that help manage stress and urges linked to addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods, adjust based on what helps, and prioritize goals and personal preferences. This makes the process flexible and responsive rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a workday, fewer commute demands, or keeping regular appointments while traveling. These practical benefits often help people maintain steady progress and apply new skills between sessions.
