Larissa draws from client-centered principles to create a collaborative atmosphere where the client's values and choices guide the pace and focus of therapy.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to pinpoint negative thinking that feeds distress and to teach tools for changing those patterns, while also using mindfulness strategies to strengthen present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.

Her practice emphasizes problem solving, goal setting, and improving meaningful connections with others.

As an LPC Larissa holds a professional counseling credential that signifies she has met education and supervised training requirements to provide therapy. She offers supportive, evidence-informed care tailored to each person’s needs and preferences, helping clients develop skills to cope with current difficulties and pursue more fulfilling relationships and daily functioning.

Approaches and Online Sessions for Everyday Challenges

Larissa uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach helps people find clarity about their values, make decisions, and strengthen self-direction when coping with relationship issues, parenting stress, or life transitions.

She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. CBT provides practical tools for problem solving and altering behaviors that maintain distress.

Mindfulness Therapy is incorporated to teach present-moment awareness and simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, useful for trauma symptoms, anger management, and ongoing stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Larissa works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, care responsibilities, and mobility limits. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care and apply new skills in daily life while working with licensed professionals who tailor strategies to each client’s situation.
