About Vivette
Vivette Lanzas is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 26 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment challenges, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress.
Vivette uses a mix of approaches to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try different ways of responding. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and act on them, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused and Dialectical Behavior ideas when strong feelings or relationship distress come up. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps people can try between meetings.
In the room she listens for what causes the most strain and helps set small, concrete goals. For parents she offers ways to reduce conflict and rebuild predictable routines. For people wrestling with shame, body image, or guilt she works through thoughts and feelings while practicing new responses.
Her style is direct and steady, with an emphasis on skills that can be used day to day. She tailors the work to what each person reports is most important, and revisits goals over time. The result is a pragmatic plan that grows from the client's own priorities.
Vivette practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the online options to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Vivette commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, trying different strategies and adjusting as needed so the work aligns with what the client wants to accomplish.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can use lunch hours or evenings more easily. The focus is on making therapy usable in everyday life while matching approaches and goals with the client's needs.
