Marc Lavett, LMHC

Marc Lavett is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and relationship concerns. He uses clear, practical methods to help people change thinking patterns and cope with life changes. Marc speaks English and practices from Florida.

Marc focuses on real problems that get in the way of daily life. He works together with clients to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. Sessions are direct and goal-oriented while remaining respectful of each persons pace.

His work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered and emotionally focused approaches. That means he pays attention to both thoughts and emotions, and values the clients own experience when shaping the work. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in his toolkit to support motivation and present-moment awareness.

Marc has experience in a range of settings since 1998, including roles that combined leadership, education, and therapy. He has run group and individual programs and developed interventions designed to produce measurable results. That background informs a practical style that aims to bridge life at home, work, and school.

People come to him for many issues including grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career stress, bipolar management, and challenges related to identity or sexual orientation. His approach is collaborative and focused on helping people move toward clearer thinking and more effective coping.

Sessions may include skill practice, thought restructuring, emotion-focused work, and brief motivational conversations. Marc supports clients who want structure and tools to make steady progress.

Approach and online options that fit your life

Marc commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and helps people learn practical skills for anxiety, depression, and impulsive patterns. He also uses client-centered therapy to keep the clients experience at the center of sessions and to build a supportive space for exploring concerns. Emotionally focused ideas help when relationship patterns or strong emotions are part of the problem by clarifying feelings and changing interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marc will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The work often mixes techniques rather than sticking to a single model.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use written exchanges to process thoughts. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
