She holds a Master of Counseling and an Education Specialist degree and has worked across school, crisis, and telehealth settings. Larissa lists concerns she helps people with that include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting, ADHD, and anger.
Her background includes roles as a suicide hotline supervisor, probation counselor, high school guidance counselor, and telehealth counselor for individual, teen, and marriage work. She also teaches Master of Counseling students and practices yoga. Those varied roles shaped a practical, common-sense approach to everyday problems.
In sessions she draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-informed thinking where those fit. The specific mix depends on what the person needs and wants to work on.

Outside of counseling she teaches, practices and leads yoga, hikes, and spends time with her college-age daughter and pet rabbit. She lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and provides services in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger that comes from stuck thinking or avoiding hard feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing different responses in daily life. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and reactive anger. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and can help when anger ties into trust, abandonment, or closeness issues.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That process means testing strategies and keeping what works while dropping what does not.
Larissa's biography notes experience with telehealth and lists messenger, phone, and video as formats she has used. Confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins by phone when needed, and remove travel time for video visits. Therapists and licensed professionals can work with these formats to practice skills, assign exercises between sessions, and check progress over time.
