About
As an Asian American Christian, I approach serving others by honoring both their cultural and individual values.
Vivian Ng is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Rhode Island with over 13 years of experience working with children, adults, and families in community- and school-based settings. She approaches her clients with an eagerness to listen and learn their stories. As her clients allow, she walks into their spaces of hopelessness and distress to sit with those feelings, and she navigates her clients to a place of measurable change. The goal is long-term empowerment. The approach is relational and collaborative.
Vivian completed her Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Providence College and received her Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Assumption College. There is a vulnerability that comes with the seat of a client, and Vivian works to honor her client’s trust and confidence by providing strength-based counseling through techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, coping skills training, and mindfulness techniques with adults. Additionally, Vivian utilizes affect-regulation strategies and play therapy with children, as well as parent-skills training and psycho-education with parents. She is also a Christian, and if clients are interested, welcomes the integration of faith and spirituality into the conversations.
Accommodating and attuned to both the clients’ and her own emotional world, Vivian aims to support her clients through navigating their thoughts and identifying their associated feelings and resulting choices. Her work is stage-appropriate, collaborative, and driven by best practices that move the client toward actualized healing.

Social isolation therapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on helping individuals navigate the emotional challenges of isolation and loneliness. Thriveworks Providence therapists create a supportive and understanding environment where clients can delve into the root causes of their loneliness and develop strategies to establish meaningful social connections.
Social isolation therapy employs a multifaceted approach, utilizing Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to reframe negative thought patterns, enhance communication, and improve social skills. It also incorporates interpersonal therapy to address relationship patterns, and mindfulness practices to manage feelings of loneliness and self-criticism.Goal-setting is also encouraged to help you actively pursue social connections and community engagement. Through these techniques, social isolation therapy empowers individuals to overcome isolation, develop meaningful relationships, and enhance their overall emotional well-being.
Social isolation therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Social isolation therapy can take different amounts of time. It depends on how isolated a person is and how they’re doing in counseling. Normally, it involves many sessions that last from a few weeks to a few months. Thriveworks therapists in Providence, RI will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.
Are you tired of feeling alone? Do you want to stop being lonely and put an end to social isolation? Thriveworks Providence is here to help. Reach out today to schedule your first session. We offer evening and weekend sessions, accept most major insurances, provide same-week appointments, and so much more.
These five steps are a great way to get started.
What’s holding you back from being more involved in your own life? What frightens you or gives you pause about starting new, meaningful relationships? Find out what’s in your way and then be willing to go through your comfort zone to the other side.
People who feel lonely or are socially isolated often feel as though they have no external bonds. So change that! You don’t have to instantly make friends. Instead, consider getting a pet or volunteering at your local shelter.
Maybe you’ve tried ways to get to know people in the past and they didn’t work out. But did you focus on things that interest you? For example, if you’re an avid reader, why not try a book club? Love to bake? Take a baking class. You’ll find the most rewarding relationships when you follow your own passions.
We live in a world where there are many electronic ways to stay in touch with people yet they often feel less satisfying than picking up the phone and talking to someone one on one. This doesn’t mean you have to shirk social media altogether, but the next time you’re about to leave a comment with condolences or congratulations, why not contact the person directly instead?
Maybe there’s someone in your life you can talk to about how you feel or perhaps you want to call the professionals. At Thriveworks Counseling in Providence, RI, we have years of experience helping people through these and other tough emotions. Your counselor will get to know you, your goals, and what’s standing in the way of them. Together you’ll come up with a treatment plan that will work with your specific strengths and weaknesses. Reach out today to get started. We offer evening and weekend sessions, accept most major insurances, and offer many additional convenient benefits to our clients.
