Her practice addresses a broad set of life challenges and relational patterns, with focused attention on topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, commitment and communication struggles, dependent personality traits, fatherhood concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, immigration issues, infidelity, intellectual disability considerations, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, and questions of life purpose.

Viviane aims to combine practical strategies with empathic listening so clients can build clearer direction, manage intense emotions, and improve important relationships. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - a professional credential for clinicians trained in clinical social work practice. Viviane is not accepting new clients, and she does work with international clients as part of her practice.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in whatever format feels most comfortable - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid busy schedules.

Therapists offering remote services are licensed professionals who use established therapeutic approaches. If the initial match does not feel right, it is possible to switch to a different therapist to find a better fit. Online therapy can be a practical option for those seeking support while balancing work, family, travel, or physical limitations.
