About Larissa
Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. She brings 22 years of counseling experience and a calm, practical approach to helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and everyday habits like sleep and eating. Larissa often focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help clients make small, sustainable changes.
She grew up practicing counseling in schools and community settings, and has worked as a suicide hotline supervisor and probation counselor. Larissa also has experience with telehealth, teaching counseling students, and providing guidance to teens in high school settings. These roles shaped a flexible style that fits different life stages and concerns.
Larissa uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, attachment-based ideas to clarify relationship patterns, and client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters to the individual. She adapts strategies depending on goals rather than using a single method every time.
Clients can expect clear explanations, step-by-step planning, and practical tools to try between sessions. Larissa also weaves in skills from dialectical behavior therapy when people need help managing strong emotions. Her work is collaborative and paced to each client’s comfort level.
Outside of counseling she teaches, leads yoga, hikes, and spends time with her college-age daughter and pet rabbit. She aims to make therapy practical and useful for daily life.

How Larissa’s approaches fit into online therapy
Larissa uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in straightforward ways. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and habits, which helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and everyday routines. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect how people relate now, which can help with intimacy, communication, and trust.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may blend techniques and will be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The original biography highlights her telehealth experience and mentions messenger, phone, and video as ways she has connected with clients. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a comfortable setting for trying new skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to bring practical tools into everyday life without changing the focus of therapy.
