Vivette Lanzas, LCMHC - Therapist in North Carolina

About Vivette

Vivette Lanzas is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with family and parenting concerns and addresses related issues like communication problems and blended family dynamics. Her manner is respectful, sensitive, and compassionate, and she aims to make the first step feel achievable for worried parents.

Vivette adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation.

Background and approach

She uses clear, practical strategies so families can try things between sessions. Parents can expect straightforward guidance on communication, boundaries, and coping skills. Her work draws from several evidence-based approaches.

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts with acceptance and commitment ideas that focus on values. Emotionally focused principles help with connecting and repairing relationships, while dialectical skills add tools for managing strong emotions. Vivette brings many years of practice in North Carolina to her work.

She holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential - LCMHC - and has supported people through a wide range of family and personal concerns. Her style is collaborative and practical, aimed at small changes that add up. In sessions she listens first and then offers methods that fit your family life.

Parents are invited to try skills, give feedback, and reshape the plan as needed. The goal is steady progress you can notice at home and in relationships.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act in ways that match their values. It can help parents clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that get in the way of daily parenting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on improving emotional connection and communication, often helping family members feel understood and repair strained relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your situation and goals, and together you will pick methods that match your needs and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can shift as your family changes or as different tools prove more helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls provide face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions allow for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief support or skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school schedules, work, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical skills and clearer family communication.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
