About Clarissa
With seven years of experience, Clarissa blends client-centered care with structured techniques to address everyday problems. She listens first, then collaborates with each person to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often focus on what a person wants to change and small steps to get there.
Clarissa uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that fuel worry or low mood. She pairs that with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients build motivation and identify quick, achievable solutions. These methods are applied in plain language so clients can use them between sessions.
People come to Clarissa for help with grief, relationships, family tension, self-esteem, and life transitions like career moves or pregnancy and childbirth. She also supports those dealing with workplace issues, impulsivity, and blended family concerns. Her work emphasizes real-world changes rather than abstract concepts.
Clarissa holds the LPC-MHSP credential and the LMHC credential and practices from Florida. She encourages anyone taking the first step to reach out, complete a short matching questionnaire, and plan sessions that fit their life.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's lead to help them make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is helpful for people needing acceptance and steady support during change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how a person feels. It suits worries, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of everyday tasks by offering concrete exercises to do between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then she uses techniques that fit those needs, adjusting as progress is made so therapy stays focused and useful.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone prefers exercises, homework, or skill practice, these can be assigned and reviewed during virtual meetings to support steady progress.
