About Clarissa
Clarissa Davis is a licensed counselor who focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting, stress, or major life changes. She keeps sessions direct and warm so parents can talk through specific problems and find workable steps forward. She uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help with anxiety, anger, career worries, grief, and low self-esteem.
Sessions aim to identify one or two concrete changes a person can try between meetings.
Background and approach
This can feel less overwhelming than tackling everything at once. Clarissa is licensed as an LPC-MHSP, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider, and as an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She has seven years of experience working with adults in Florida and Tennessee and brings that practical background into each meeting.
Her style blends listening with structured tools. She listens first, then helps shape short-term goals and coping strategies. Techniques come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods depending on what fits.
Parents often appreciate her straightforward approach to family and parenting concerns, including blended family issues, communication problems, and managing control or impulsivity. She helps people plan small changes that can reduce stress at home and work. Many clients start with a single goal, like improving routines or reducing arguments.
From there she adjusts the plan as needs change, aiming for practical progress rather than perfection.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgement. The therapist offers empathy and mirrors what she hears so people feel heard and can consider new ways of handling parenting stress or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, or ease anger and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust based on what helps most. This means clients play an active role in choosing tools and pacing each step.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or use brief, focused conversations when schedules are tight.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting and work demands, while keeping the focus on practical steps and ongoing collaboration.
