Larissa Childers, LMFT

Larissa Childers is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She has four years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Larissa focuses on creating a calm space where people can say what they feel without worry or judgment.

She aims to work side by side with clients to identify what needs to change and what small steps feel possible. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to immediate coping skills and longer-term patterns that keep problems cycling. Larissa encourages people to notice progress, even when it is gradual.

Common concerns she addresses include panic attacks, mood changes, social anxiety, and the weight of isolation or shame. She also helps people navigate life transitions such as divorce or changing roles, and supports work on body image, self-love, and finding life purpose. Her approach balances short-term tools and deeper personal reflection.

Larissa’s style is supportive and straightforward. She listens carefully, asks clear questions, and helps set realistic goals for therapy. People who want practical ways to manage symptoms alongside exploring personal meaning may find this approach useful.

To begin, Larissa invites people to take a first step and explore what matters most to them. She aims to guide and empower each person toward a more manageable, more fulfilling day-to-day life.
