About Larissa
Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who focuses on practical help for parents and individuals juggling stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She writes straightforward goals with clients and uses clear, step-by-step strategies to make daily life feel more manageable. Larissa draws on two decades of counseling experience and prefers talking through what is most pressing right now.
She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Background and approach
Larissa earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Counseling from Arizona State University, and she holds an Education Specialist degree in Educational Leadership plus an M.B.A. She has worked as a suicide hotline supervisor, probation counselor, high school guidance counselor, and telehealth clinician. She also teaches master’s students in counseling and leads yoga classes.
In sessions she mixes client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to suit each person. That might look like tracking patterns, practicing new coping skills, or clarifying values and small actions that fit a parent’s routine. She adapts tools so they are simple to use between sessions.
Parents often reach out for help with sleep, eating, behavior concerns, and stress around caregiving or blended family challenges. She also works with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. Conversations aim to be practical, solution-focused, and respectful of each person’s context.
Larissa has provided telehealth counseling for several years and appreciates how flexible online formats can fit into busy family schedules. She offers support in English and practices from Arizona, using a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches and online care fit together
Larissa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and commitment therapy is also part of her work and focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-based ideas inform her attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and to improving connection within parenting roles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust strategies based on what is helpful. That collaborative process helps decide which tools to focus on for your situation.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for busy parents and people with packed schedules. Video calls let you see and hear nonverbal cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into brief breaks. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care, practice skills between meetings, and fit therapy into real life.
