About Larissa

Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She often supports people facing codependency, trauma, and issues with intimacy. Larissa brings a calm, practical style and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful.

She holds a Master of Counseling and an Education Specialist degree. Larissa has over 22 years of experience in counseling roles. That work has included suicide hotline supervision, probation counseling, school guidance, and telehealth practice. She also teaches graduate counseling students and is a yoga instructor.

In sessions she blends practical tools with reflective conversation. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy depending on what a person needs. The goal is to find a mix of strategies that fit daily life and personal goals.

Larissa has been providing virtual counseling for several years and says telehealth can make it easier to attend sessions regularly. She offers support for a wide range of concerns including ADHD, parenting stress, addictions, and career questions. She also addresses more specific issues like abandonment, blended family stress, and body image struggles.

People who meet with Larissa can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth conversation about where they are and what they want to change. She focuses on practical steps while also exploring patterns that keep problems repeating.

Larissa lives in Arizona and works in English. Her background blends clinical work, school counseling, and teaching, which she uses to inform a flexible, experience-based approach to helping clients.

How Larissa’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters most and take action toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and situations where avoidance keeps life small.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or recurring relationship cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean using ACT exercises one week and exploring attachment themes the next.

Larissa has experience with virtual care and has used messenger, phone, and video in the past, though readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people continue work with the same therapist even when schedules or locations change.
