About Clarissa
Clarissa Davis is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and focuses on common adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, career friction, relationship and family issues, grief, and low self-esteem.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions center on talking through what is happening now, spotting patterns that lead to angry reactions, and trying small behavior changes to test what helps. She uses tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to shape short-term goals and steps forward.
Clarissa emphasizes concrete breathing and grounding skills, reframing thoughts that escalate frustration, and planning alternative responses for tense moments. She also brings a coaching mindset to career and role transitions, helping people weigh options and make decisions they can live with.
Her work pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that show up in close relationships and blended family situations. She helps people who are navigating divorce, commitment uncertainty, or parenting stress to sort priorities and set practical boundaries.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in Florida. Finding better ways to handle anger and stress often begins with a short planning conversation and a few small experiments to try between meetings. To schedule a first session, complete the site matching questionnaire and select an appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person's perspective and reflecting it back. In practice this means sessions that begin by listening and naming what matters to the client, which helps clarify where anger shows up and why. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into small parts. That makes it easier to try different responses and notice what changes, which is useful for managing temper and workplace reactions.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Clarissa works collaboratively to select techniques based on a person's goals and preferences. Together they test brief exercises and adjust plans depending on what helps in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid travel time. It also lets a therapist and client practice skills that will be used in everyday settings, and adapt tools like breathing exercises and cognitive reframes to the situations that cause the most anger.
