About Vivette

Vivette Lanzas is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 26 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Her profile also notes attention to blended family issues and related family concerns.

Vivette keeps sessions practical and direct. She uses conversational work to identify patterns that cause stress and to practice new responses. Expect focused, goal-oriented conversation that looks at thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to reshape unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and next steps.

Emotionally-focused ideas are part of her approach when relationship feelings get in the way of problem solving. Dialectical behavior elements can be used to teach distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills. Client-centered principles guide her to listen and respond to what matters most to each person.

She has helped people manage parenting strain and blended household tensions, including co-parenting stress and communication problems. Sessions address practical routines, boundary-setting, and repairing trust or connection where possible.

Vivette asks people to be clear about their goals so sessions stay practical. She uses short exercises, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning between meetings. The result is concrete skills to reduce distress and make everyday family life more manageable.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and decisions about parenting and family roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce stress and improve daily routines. It can help with anger, anxiety, and depressive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try techniques and adjust the focus as needed, keeping the plan practical and goal-oriented.

The original biography did not list specific session delivery methods, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to brief skill practice between meetings, which can be easier to do when sessions are scheduled around work, school, or caregiving routines.
