About Vivette
Vivette Lanzas is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 26 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Sessions focus on practical conversation and steps you can try between visits.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That mix lets her address strong emotions, unhelpful thinking patterns, and skills for coping in day-to-day life. She tends to keep explanations straightforward and actionable.
Vivette has worked with many people facing attachment-related concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and blended family dynamics. She also addresses caregiver stress, body image, eating-related issues, and problems with communication or commitment. Her experience includes helping people cope with divorce, separation, guilt, shame, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters.
In sessions she listens for emotional patterns and recurring reactions. Conversations often move between naming feelings, noticing behavior cycles, and practicing small changes that can reduce distress. She draws on CBT and DBT strategies when skills training is useful, and uses ACT ideas to help clarify values and next steps.
People who come for help can expect direct, practical discussion about goals and a plan to work toward them. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session through the site.
How Vivette blends EFT, ACT, and skills work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and the attachment-related patterns they create. It can help people name feelings that are hard to say and notice how emotions shape everyday reactions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds practical steps for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while DBT contributes skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients shape the plan by sharing what works for them and what feels practical in daily life.
