About Vivia
Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience.

She also addresses intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
Dr. Hill-Silcott uses several therapy approaches and looks at what best fits each person. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness tools.

She has experience supporting people dealing with multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and intersectional identity challenges. She has worked with college students and with African-American youth and gay men in college settings.
Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. She helps people name emotions, notice relationship patterns, and try small changes to reduce distress. She also addresses issues such as panic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm concerns.
Dr. Hill-Silcott holds a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision and uses that background to inform her work with clients. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings and attachment patterns. It helps people name hard-to-recognize emotions and see how those emotions shape relationships and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the person’s own goals, giving space for clients to guide what they want to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most useful. This collaborative stance helps match methods like EFT, CBT, or client-centered work to the problem at hand.

Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a workday or family routine. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt exercises, emotion-focused conversations, and CBT tools to an online setting so that therapy remains practical and focused on everyday problems.
