Larissa Rzemienski

Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who helps people dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy practical and manageable for someone juggling family, work, or school. Her background includes decades of counseling experience and teaching, which she uses to guide conversations toward usable steps.

She earned a Master of Counseling and a Master of Business Administration, plus an Education Specialist degree in Educational Leadership. Larissa has worked in many roles over 22 years, including high school guidance counseling, probation counseling, and supervising a suicide hotline. These experiences shaped her ability to respond to sudden crisis and longer-term struggles alike.

Larissa uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Her methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She adjusts techniques to focus on practical skills, emotional understanding, or changing unhelpful thinking habits as needed.

She has provided telehealth counseling for several years and has seen people at different life stages. Outside of counseling she teaches Master of Counseling students and practices and teaches yoga. She lives in Phoenix and includes real-world tools in sessions to help clients practice between meetings.

To begin, she asks people to share their goals and what they hope to change. Sessions tend to focus on small, doable steps toward those goals and on building skills that carry into daily life.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Larissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change upsetting thought patterns and habits. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday problems because it focuses on concrete skills and behavior changes.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT can support coping with stress, grief, chronic health issues, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Larissa collaborates with each person to pick methods that match goals and preferences. She will talk through options and adjust tools over time so sessions stay helpful and relevant.
