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 applies a cognitive-based approach, including REBT, to help people identify, restructure, and redirect unhelpful thinking patterns, grounded in the belief that thoughts shape feelings and behavior. Drawing on experience in a range of settings since 1998, he blends senior corporate leadership experience with educational and therapeutic programming to design interventions informed by evidence and practical outcomes.

Marc integrates group, family, and individual counseling to address challenges across home, work, and school environments. He has led programmatic development that emphasizes clinically tested, evidence-based strategies and measurable results. His work focuses on helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, family and relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, and other life transitions.

Throughout his practice, Marc emphasizes collaboration, structuring therapy around each person’s goals and circumstances while using established techniques to foster growth and coping. As an LMHC - a credential that denotes specialized training in mental health counseling - he aims to bridge gaps in support and create practical pathways toward healthier functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and perspectives guide the work; it emphasizes empathy and collaboration to help people build self-awareness and confidence in making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including cognitive-based methods like REBT, involves examining and adjusting thought patterns that contribute to distress - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors by teaching practical skills to reframe unhelpful thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps partners and family members strengthen attachment and communication by exploring emotional responses and patterns that affect relationships.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Marc will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into work, family, and travel schedules. These options increase accessibility for people in different locations and provide multiple ways to stay connected with a licensed professional without requiring travel.
