About Viviane
Viviane Ngwa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois and Nevada with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, career questions, and coaching. She works in English and accepts international clients.
Viviane approaches sessions in a straightforward way. She listens for what matters most and helps people name the problem. Then she works with them to try practical steps and small changes that fit daily life. Conversations are direct and collaborative rather than filled with jargon.
Her work draws on several well-known therapy methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking that keep stress or anxiety going and to practice different responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques help with strong emotions and relationship patterns.
Viviane also addresses a wide range of related issues. These include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, blended family concerns, communication and commitment problems, immigration-related stress, and feelings like guilt, shame, jealousy, or isolation. She supports people dealing with fatherhood questions, intellectual disability considerations, infidelity, and life-purpose exploration.
Sessions aim to be practical and applicable between meetings. Viviane helps people set realistic steps, notice progress, and adjust plans when needed. To begin, readers are advised to follow the site’s process for matching and scheduling a first session.

How Viviane Uses Therapy Approaches in Online Sessions
Viviane draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and decide what matters to them, then take small actions that align with those values. CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety or stress.She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas when relationship patterns are central. EFT techniques help people see how emotions shape interactions and practice new ways of responding to one another. The goal is to find approaches that make sense for the person and the issue at hand.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life constraints, then suggest methods to try. Clients can test techniques and adjust the plan over time so sessions fit real-world needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into weekly schedules, reduce commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when time is tight. It also makes it possible to use practical homework, skills practice, and real-time problem solving between meetings to reinforce progress.
