She trained in counseling at Arizona State University and holds a Master of Counseling, an Education Specialist degree in Educational Leadership, and an MBA in Marketing. Her background includes roles as a suicide hotline supervisor, probation counselor, school guidance counselor, telehealth clinician, and college instructor for Master of Counseling students. She has been offering virtual counseling for several years and describes using multiple approaches to fit each person’s needs.
In sessions she draws from practical methods such as Client-Centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Larissa says the exact approach depends on what a person brings and what they want to work on.
She has experience working with people across the lifespan and with diverse concerns. Her clinical history includes school and community settings as well as crisis work, which informs how she supports everyday parenting stress and family-related worries.
Outside of counseling she teaches counseling students and practices and teaches yoga. She lives in Phoenix, Arizona, and mentions enjoying hiking, time with her daughter, and caring for a pet rabbit.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking small meaningful steps. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by clarifying what matters and reducing avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions; it can be useful for intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks larger problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, sleeping and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. Expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and homework or exercises when they suit your goals.
The biography mentions messenger, phone, and video as formats she has used, though you should confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone choose phone or messaging when less bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Licensed professionals often use these options to maintain continuity of care and work around everyday schedules.
