About Vivette

Vivette Lanzas is an LCMHC licensed in North Carolina with 26 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, and depression, and also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.

Vivette uses an approachable, conversational style in sessions. She focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between meetings. Conversations cover communication skills, managing strong emotions, and small behavior changes that reduce daily pressure.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice in community and family-centered settings. That experience shaped a practice that blends several therapy methods to match what a person needs in the moment. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and goals.

In session she may also use dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation and client-centered listening to keep the focus on the client's perspective. Emotionally-focused ideas can come into play for people working on relationship and attachment issues. These approaches guide practical planning rather than abstract discussion.

Vivette asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she is not accepting international clients.

How her approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck while you sort priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete exercises for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vivette will talk with each person about their goals and struggles and suggest methods that fit those needs. The first sessions are a chance to try techniques and adjust the plan so it feels useful and manageable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or offering options that reduce the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
