About Larissa

Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona with more than two decades of counseling experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship concerns, and other life changes. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people juggling busy lives.

She trained in psychology and counseling at Arizona State University and holds a Master of Counseling and an Education Specialist degree in Educational Leadership. Larissa has worked in a variety of roles, including high school guidance counseling, suicide hotline supervision, probation counseling, and telehealth. Those roles shaped a direct, steady style in sessions.

Sessions emphasize easy-to-use strategies drawn from evidence-informed methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered and Attachment-based approaches guide supportive listening and building trust. Techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy may also be used when they fit a person's goals.

Larissa also teaches counseling students and brings that teaching perspective into her work. She has experience with issues like trauma, addictions, parenting stress, body image concerns, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and caregiving strain. She explains options clearly and helps people pick a path that fits their situation.

Outside of counseling she teaches yoga, hikes, follows psychology and history, and spends time with her college-age daughter and pet rabbit. To begin, readers are encouraged to review session options and scheduling before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Larissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practice small changes that reduce distress. CBT is often helpful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and some stress-related concerns.

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to create a steady, collaborative relationship. Attachment-based ideas focus on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns, while Client-Centered work emphasizes being heard and respected as a person. These methods help with relationship issues, intimacy concerns, abandonment worries, and self-esteem work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then tailors techniques to each person's needs. That collaborative step helps people try approaches that fit their life and adjust them over time.

Larissa has experience with telehealth and notes its practical benefits for fitting sessions into a busy schedule. Online work can reduce travel time, make it easier to keep regular check-ins, and allow for shorter or more frequent meetings when helpful. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available.
