Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott

Dr. Vivia Hill-Silcott is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, career questions, grief, trauma, and issues around identity and relationships. She offers a calm, direct style aimed at helping clients regain a sense of control. Her approach is warm and conversational and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions.

She uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs, drawing on client-centered ideas, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness, dialectical skills, and emotionally focused methods. That means sessions can include careful listening, tracking thoughts and behaviors, learning emotion regulation skills, and practicing new ways to connect with others. She also uses assessments to clarify concerns and set goals.

Dr. Hill-Silcott has eight years of clinical experience and practices in Georgia. She has worked with college students and young people around identity, resilience, and coping with discrimination and prejudice. She also supports people dealing with addictions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is collaborative and respectful of each person’s cultural background and identity. Clients can expect a mix of practical skill-building and reflective conversation aimed at clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping. She encourages people to try strategies in their lives and review what works.

To begin, she invites prospective clients to complete a short intake so she can match on priorities and schedule sessions that fit current needs.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a trusting, respectful space so clients can talk through what matters most. It helps people who need acceptance and clarity before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful habits and ease anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with strong emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT techniques for a time, using mindfulness practices, or focusing on emotion-focused moments in sessions and adjusting as progress is seen.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can schedule around work, avoid commuting, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Online work still supports skill practice, thought tracking, emotion regulation, and planning for real-life changes, and she will help tailor those activities to the client’s daily routine.
