Marc Lavett, LMHC

Marc Lavett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who partners with individuals to support meaningful change and improved quality of life. He emphasizes a collaborative relationship that helps people identify and work through personal challenges, using cognitive-based methods to examine how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors. As a practitioner, he guides clients to restructure unhelpful thinking patterns and redirect them toward healthier responses.

Marc blends experience from corporate leadership with work in educational and therapeutic settings to design interventions grounded in evidence-based practice. He has led program development that emphasizes measurable, positive outcomes and applies clinically tested techniques to individual, family, and group counseling. This integrative approach aims to bridge gaps between home, work, and school so clients can find practical, sustainable solutions.

In sessions he draws on cognitive strategies alongside approaches that honor emotion, motivation, and personal agency, tailoring work to each person and family. His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions, with the goal of helping clients build resilience and move forward with greater clarity.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Emotional Growth

Marc Lavett frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work and personal strengths are emphasized. This approach helps people who need empathy and acceptance while exploring their goals and values.

He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching concrete skills for managing emotions and reactions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another approach he draws on to help partners and families understand and rework emotional responses that affect relationships. EFT supports clients in creating more secure, connected interactions and resolving patterns that cause conflict or distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Marc collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts methods over time to suit changing circumstances. Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to engage from different locations and schedules while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
