About Vivette

Vivette Lanzas is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She explains therapy in straightforward terms and focuses on practical steps that people can use right away. Vivette works to create a respectful and compassionate space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.

She draws on 26 years of experience in behavioral health to shape each session around the person's needs. That means setting clear goals, practicing skills between visits, and checking progress regularly. Her style blends warm, client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques to manage strong emotions and reduce overwhelming thoughts.

Vivette uses a mix of approaches including acceptance and commitment principles, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, emotionally-focused ideas, and a client-centered stance. She adapts these methods to address issues like attachment concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and the impacts of adoption or abandonment.

Conversations in therapy often cover communication problems, control and commitment worries, body image and eating-related concerns, and coping after separation or disaster. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and family conflict in practical ways. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are shaped by what each person needs, with attention to daily life and realistic steps forward. Vivette encourages clients to try small changes and review what works. Her approach aims to help people regain balance and move toward a more satisfying life.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches Online

Vivette works from approaches that help people notice what matters and take action. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult feelings so clients can move toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people identify and express emotions more clearly to improve connection and reduce repeated conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they will pick methods and adjust them over time based on what is working and what feels right for the client.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people try skill practice between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion during sessions. Licensed professionals work to tailor these benefits to each person's needs rather than promising a specific outcome.
