Vivette Lanzas , LCMHC

Vivette Lanzas is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers calm, respectful support and practical steps aimed at making day-to-day life more manageable. Her approach is direct and compassionate for people looking to feel steadier and more in control.

Vivette adapts sessions to each person’s needs. She draws on methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, build stronger emotional skills, and clarify values. Conversations are goal-oriented but flexible, and she uses simple exercises that can be practiced between sessions.

Her work includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and eating issues, blended family dynamics, and the stress that caregivers often carry. She also addresses communication problems, commitment worries, and the fallout from separation or divorce. These topics are folded into practical strategies rather than abstract theory.

Clients can expect a collaborative tone. Vivette listens first, then suggests manageable tools for coping and change. Sessions aim to increase emotional understanding and reduce patterns that cause repeated distress.

With 26 years of experience and the credential LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) in North Carolina, she brings long-term clinical exposure to common life struggles. She meets people where they are and helps them move toward clearer choices and steadier daily routines.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for mood, worry, and anger management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on recognizing and naming emotions to improve connection with oneself and others, which can help with attachment concerns and relationship distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust techniques over time. Clients and therapist work together to find what helps most, mixing elements of different approaches when that makes sense.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth or hands-free time is needed, and chat or messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice skills between sessions.
