Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott

Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage anger, anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with grief, identity concerns, addictions, and the fallout from trauma. She works in a warm, conversational style that aims to make it easier to talk about hard things.

With eight years of experience, Dr. Hill-Silcott blends practical techniques with attentive listening. She uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and mindfulness. Sessions often include concrete skill-building, thought work, and emotion regulation practice.

She pays close attention to how identity and culture shape feelings and behavior. That focus shows up when addressing multicultural concerns, prejudice, or the stress of discrimination. She helps people name difficult emotions like shame, guilt, or abandonment and then take steps toward healing.

Dr. Hill-Silcott also uses assessments to clarify what’s most important to work on. Expect straightforward feedback and collaborative goal setting. Her approach aims to help people regain control, rebuild self-worth, and find more satisfying ways to relate to others.

Outside of clinical work she lives in Georgia with her family and pets. She offers services in English and accepts international clients, and she frames therapy as a partnership tailored to each person’s needs.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and build practical coping skills. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and tailor the plan as sessions progress. Clients and therapist work together to see what helps most, and adjustments are made based on what the person needs and prefers.

The biography does not specify particular online session types, so confirm available session formats before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while working on stress, anger, relationships, or trauma-related goals.
