Larisa Citsay

Larisa Citsay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with anger. She also supports those dealing with relationship and parenting concerns and helps clients strengthen self-esteem.

Larisa takes an integrative approach that combines practical skill-building with reflective work. She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness, motivational strategies, and choice theory to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. Sessions tend to focus on short-term goals and clear steps clients can use between meetings.

She often guides clients in setting and keeping healthy boundaries. That can mean practicing ways to speak up, manage strong emotions, or change unhelpful thinking. She also works with people facing codependency, communication or control issues, forgiveness struggles, and challenges tied to narcissistic relationships.

Larisa supports parents and caregivers who want guidance around tween and teen issues and parent coaching. She also helps young adults and women seeking direction on life purpose, self-love, and commitment concerns. Her style is compassionate and goal-focused, aiming to make change feel manageable.

In sessions, clients can expect a mix of teaching, skill practice, and reflection. The therapist helps people plan steps they can try between meetings and checks progress along the way. People who want practical tools for anger, improved communication, or clearer life direction may find this approach useful.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Larisa draws from cognitive behavioral ideas that help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT techniques often include simple exercises to test thoughts and practice new reactions, which can be reviewed together in sessions and used between meetings.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice emotions without getting swept up by them. Short, guided mindfulness exercises can teach breathing and attention habits that reduce reactivity and support anger management and stress relief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Larisa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when that suits their routine, or focus on exercises that do not require being on camera.
