Larissa Dovalina

Larissa Dovalina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to be a steady ally when people feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She offers a calm, practical presence and focuses on helping clients notice patterns that keep them feeling trapped.

Her work often centers on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and anger. She also supports people navigating trauma and abuse, substance use struggles, self-esteem issues, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, career stress, and other life changes. Larissa encourages clear, doable steps rather than vague advice.

In sessions she uses a client-centered stance combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she listens first, then helps people identify thought patterns, try different coping skills, and set short-term goals. Sessions aim to be collaborative and action-oriented.

Larissa emphasizes practical tools for thinking differently, solving problems, and building healthier routines. She helps clients break big problems into smaller steps. She also supports people who want to strengthen intimacy, process loss, or recover from past harm.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Fees vary by location and a subscription model is used, which can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room and responds to their needs. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s lead to build trust and understanding. This approach helps with feelings of being lost, low self-esteem, and relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaboration may mean combining elements of different approaches and adjusting as needs change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins between appointments, and make it simpler to join from work or home when time is limited.
