About Marc
Marc Lavett is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. He uses straightforward conversation to help clients name problems and find practical steps forward. Marc blends calm listening with clear feedback so people leave sessions with something to try.
He focuses on how thoughts shape feelings and behavior. Many sessions include work to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
He also uses mindfulness practices to help calm the body and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to address relationship and attachment concerns. Marc has worked in corporate, educational, and clinical settings since 1998. That mix of roles shaped his interest in programs that connect skills learned in therapy with everyday demands at home and work.
He has led development of group and individual programs that emphasize measurable progress. In sessions he combines goal-focused tools with a client-centered stance. That means conversations are guided by each person's priorities and pace.
He often pairs practical exercises with short-term goals so change can be noticed quickly. People reach out for help with addiction, anger, parenting strain, career transitions, or coping after trauma. He also works with clients around abandonment issues, codependency, divorce and separation, and eating or substance concerns.
Marc aims to help people build clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better patterns in key relationships.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace; the therapist listens deeply and reflects to help people clarify what matters most and move toward change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions in relationships so they can repair connection and understand triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT tools for anxiety, adding mindfulness practices for stress, or applying emotionally-focused work for relationship concerns as the process develops.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing tracking and shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use approaches in ways that suit daily life.
