About Vivia
Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and multicultural challenges.
Background and approach
She also addresses more specific areas such as obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, prejudicial experiences, and compassion fatigue. Her work includes attention to identity-related themes like LGBT concerns, abandonment, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and self-love.
Dr. Hill-Silcott practices with an integrative, client-centered stance that draws on several evidence-informed methods.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients develop practical skills, process emotions, and shift unhelpful patterns. She emphasizes warm, collaborative dialogue and uses assessments to clarify concerns and track progress.
Holding a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and licensure as an LPC, she brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice in Georgia. Sessions are offered in a variety of online formats and she accepts international clients.
Her aim is to help people regain a sense of control and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Online approaches that combine skills and emotional work
Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide online work. CBT involves identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building concrete coping strategies for issues like anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive patterns. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and patterns that create relationship or self-directed distress.She also draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions collaborative and responsive; this means the therapist and client work together to choose which approaches best fit the client's goals and preferences. Finding the right mix of methods is treated as an ongoing, joint process rather than a one-time decision.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and maintain continuity of care through transitions or busy periods. Practical benefits include easier scheduling, quicker check-ins between sessions, and multiple ways to practice new skills in everyday contexts.
