About Marc

Marc Lavett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and other life changes. He brings 20 years of experience to each session and aims to help clients find clearer thinking and more effective coping. Marc uses straightforward, practical tools in sessions so people can notice change quickly.

He combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive approaches to address how thoughts and feelings shape behavior.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking, exploring strong emotions, and building skills to respond rather than react. He also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when they fit the client's goals.

That mix informs his focus on measurable progress and practical solutions. He has provided individual, group, and family counseling in a range of settings. People working with Marc can expect a collaborative tone.

He asks questions, reflects what he hears, and helps people set clear, achievable steps. He pays attention to family dynamics, addiction issues, and challenges like abandonment or codependency when those come up. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.

Marc supports parents navigating parenting strain, people coping with trauma or loss, and those seeking help with anger, self-esteem, career concerns, or bipolar management.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings, then use those emotions to guide changes in how they relate and respond. It is useful for relationship strain, grief, and patterns that keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and follows the client's pace, helping people feel understood and able to explore what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It gives concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related thinking patterns. Marc blends these approaches so therapy fits the issue at hand and the person in the room.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He will check in about what helps and adjust the mix of EFT, CBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video offers face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat work well for quick check-ins or brief coaching moments. These formats provide flexibility so people can connect in the way that works best for them.
