Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Vivette Lanzas draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an empathic, nonjudgmental environment where the client s own insights drive change - this approach supports self-esteem, relationship issues, and parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vivette works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing so the plan feels useful and sustainable for each individual or family.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or to reach therapy from home. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide ongoing support, skill building, and problem solving in ways that can accommodate different lifestyles and commitments.
