About Marc
Marc Lavett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship concerns. He supports clients dealing with trauma, self-esteem struggles, career questions, parenting strain, and identity issues. Marc brings 20 years of experience in counseling and program work in Florida.
He focuses on working alongside people rather than telling them what to do. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical steps.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and goal-oriented, with space for emotion and reflection. Marc trained in approaches that emphasize the client's voice and clear strategies. He uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person.
He pairs that with cognitive approaches to spot thought patterns that get in the way. His background includes clinical and leadership roles since the late 1990s, including program development in educational and therapeutic settings. That mix informs how he structures care and measures progress.
He has worked with groups and individuals across different settings. In sessions Marc often incorporates mindfulness and motivational techniques to support change. He helps people break cycles like codependency, control issues, or substance use by setting small, achievable goals.
The goal is steady movement toward clearer decisions and better day-to-day functioning.
How Marc’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work puts the client’s priorities first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and building goals that fit each person’s life. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and want direction that comes from their own values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change thought patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or unhelpful behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving so change shows up in daily life.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and how they shape relationships and personal reactions. It can help people understand attachment, manage intense emotions, and rebuild trust in close connections.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans together as progress is made. This collaborative process helps match techniques to the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people keep face-to-face connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These formats make it easier to keep consistent sessions and to practice techniques between meetings.
