Vivette Lanzas, LCMHC

Vivette Lanzas is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps that people can use in everyday life. Vivette works with adults who want clearer direction and steadier emotional balance in their daily routines.

Vivette adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's needs. She aims to listen with respect and compassion while helping clients identify small changes that make a difference. Sessions tend to focus on real problems and workable strategies rather than abstract theory.

Over a 26-year career she has supported people through family conflict, blended family issues, separation and divorce, and caregiving stress. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment worries, and struggles with body image, eating, guilt, and shame.

Vivette uses several therapeutic approaches to guide sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods inform practical tools for communication, emotion regulation, and coping with loss or change.

Her practice is based in North Carolina and sessions are conducted in English. She encourages anyone who is considering therapy to take the first step and schedule a time to talk and see if the approach fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking committed action toward what matters. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and understanding strong emotions to improve connection and healing after loss or relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting plans as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Many people find it simple to continue practical skill work between appointments when therapy is offered remotely, but check the therapist's listed session formats before scheduling.
