About Vivian

Vivian Litterell is an Oklahoma-based licensed professional counselor with 28 years of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, mood challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She works with a wide age range and brings a respectful, compassionate stance to each interaction, encouraging clients to take the first steps toward change with support and practical guidance. Her work emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, blending client-centered principles with structured techniques such as cognitive behavioral approaches and trauma-focused strategies when appropriate.

Vivian draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help clients clarify goals, build coping skills, and identify small, sustainable steps forward. She frames therapy as a partnership that honors each person’s strengths while addressing concerns like grief, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and relationship or family difficulties.

Rooted in nearly three decades of practice, Vivian’s approach aims to balance empathy with evidence-informed tools so clients can develop greater resilience and more satisfying daily functioning. She invites prospective clients to reach out and begin a process of exploration and change at a pace that fits their needs.

Online Therapy Using Practical, Person-Focused Methods



Vivian commonly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused approaches to address symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily life. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and building safety and coping strategies for those affected by past abuse or other traumatic events.

She also uses client-centered principles to create a supportive environment where clients’ experiences guide the course of work. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative; the therapist will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals, symptom profile, and preferences rather than imposing a single model.

Online sessions are available via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for busy schedules or varied comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access consistent care from Oklahoma without commuting, and they allow adjustments in how people communicate while maintaining a steady therapeutic process.
