About Clarissa
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Conversations focus on practical next steps and realistic changes rather than long lectures. Clarissa emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's pace.
Her background includes seven years of clinical experience. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider credential and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Clarissa practices in Florida and draws on a mix of talking approaches to match each person’s needs.
In sessions she often uses client-centered techniques to hear what matters most to the person. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to notice patterns of thinking and try small behavior changes. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when people want direction on decisions or quick, practical steps.
People come to her for help with relationships, coping with life changes, grief, workplace stress, and self-esteem. She also supports those navigating blended family issues, communication struggles, impulsivity, and pregnancy or childbirth transitions. The work is straightforward and goal-minded, with attention to what will make daily life easier.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and follows what matters most to the person, which helps build trust and clarify goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.
Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck about making changes. It uses questions and reflection to uncover motivations and build commitment to practical steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as short-term goals are met or new issues arise.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking to know what's available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to focus on practical changes that translate into everyday routines.
