About Vivette
Vivette Lanzas is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Vivette meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use in daily life.
She spends time listening closely to understand what feels most urgent. Then she and the client shape a plan that fits that person’s situation and goals.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear, doable skills and real conversations rather than jargon or long lectures. Vivette uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She draws from acceptance and commitment methods, cognitive tools that change unhelpful thinking, emotionally focused ideas for relationships, and skills-oriented work for managing strong emotions.
Over a 26-year career she has supported people facing family strain, attachment and abandonment worries, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and caregiver stress. She also helps with body image, eating-related challenges, guilt, shame, forgiveness, and problem areas like communication and control. Clients who come to Vivette can expect a straightforward, collaborative process.
She aims to make therapy usable between sessions so people notice small changes sooner. Her practice is based in North Carolina and she works in English.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then choose actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and goal-setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) aims to deepen emotional awareness and improve connection in relationships, which can help with attachment and family conflict.Deciding which approach to use happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, try interventions that match those needs, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. This collaborative process helps find what feels most useful for that person.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are a good choice when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection and brief exchanges between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and let clients pick what fits their routine.
