About Vivette

Vivette Lanzas is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She also supports clients facing depression and parenting strains. Her style is direct and respectful, and she aims to make the first step easier for people who feel overwhelmed.

Vivette draws on 26 years of experience to shape sessions around each person's needs. She listens first, then tailors conversation and strategies to what a person wants to change. That might mean learning new coping skills, working on communication, or sorting through painful feelings tied to abandonment or attachment concerns.

Her work includes practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused approaches. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy when they fit the situation. These methods are used to help people notice patterns and try small, workable changes.

Vivette has helped people with issues related to adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, body image, and eating concerns. She also addresses relationship strains such as commitment worries, communication problems, guilt, and forgiveness.

Throughout care she aims for a calm, compassionate tone. She encourages clear goals and steady steps toward them. Prospective clients in North Carolina can expect a collaborative approach that focuses on what matters most to them.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and values-based action. It helps people stop struggling with every thought and start making choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can reduce anxiety and anger.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try approaches and adjust as progress and needs change.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and allows for flexible scheduling. It can also reduce travel time and let people use shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find therapeutic skills transfer well to everyday settings when practiced between sessions.
