About Larissa
Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She often supports those dealing with parenting challenges, career strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Larissa’s style is practical and conversational, aimed at helping clients find manageable steps forward.
She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Counseling from Arizona State University, and also holds an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership and an M.B.A. in Marketing. Over 22 years she has worked in many settings including school counseling, probation services, a suicide hotline, and tele-health. That range shaped her flexible approach to different life situations.
Her work draws from several methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Larissa adapts what she uses to match each person’s goals rather than applying a single model to everyone.
She has provided telehealth counseling for about four years and values the convenience it can offer for people with busy schedules. Sessions have included messenger, phone, and video options; confirm current session options when booking.
Outside of counseling she teaches Master of Counseling students, practices and teaches yoga, enjoys hiking, and spends time with her college-age daughter and her pet rabbit. Larissa aims for a collaborative, down-to-earth conversation that helps clients take realistic steps forward.
How Larissa’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and some aspects of addictions and sleep. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful when people want to address abandonment, trust, or intimacy-related issues.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Larissa will work with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than insisting on a single method. That means the first sessions often focus on what feels most pressing and practical for the client.
Larissa has been providing telehealth counseling for several years and lists messenger, phone, and video among past session methods, though readers should confirm current session options when booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce commute time. Therapists and clients can then focus on applying tools learned in sessions to everyday life.
