About Marc
Marc Lavett is an LMHC who helps people work through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma, depression, grief, and related life changes. He emphasizes collaboration, helping clients recognize how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors and then guiding them toward practical ways to reframe and redirect unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Marc draws on two decades of clinical experience and a cognitive approach to support lasting change. Over his 20-year career he has worked across clinical and programmatic settings, combining leadership roles with direct therapeutic practice.
He offers individual, family, and group counseling and integrates evidence-informed techniques to create measurable improvements. Marc’s work includes attention to LGBT concerns, parenting and family dynamics, men’s issues, addictions, bipolar disorder, eating and food-related problems, and many interpersonal challenges such as abandonment, infidelity, and codependency.
Based in Florida, Marc blends cognitive methods with client-centered and emotionally focused perspectives, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools, to tailor treatment to each person’s goals. He brings a practical orientation aimed at bridging challenges that affect home, work, and daily functioning, and he accepts clients both in Florida and internationally.
How Marc’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Marc uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors; CBT offers structured exercises and practical strategies that adapt well to remote sessions. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and support so clients feel heard and can explore their values and goals at their own pace. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another approach he may use to help people increase emotional awareness and improve how they relate to others, which can be useful for relationship and grief work.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Marc works with each client to determine which combination of methods best matches their concerns, goals, and personal preferences, and adjusts the plan as work progresses to ensure it remains relevant and helpful.
Online therapy with Marc is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows people to fit counseling into busy schedules and access support from different locations. These flexible options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on current needs.
