About Clarrissa

Clarrissa Hazel is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 18 years of experience. She helps people dealing with addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also supports those facing relationship troubles, anger, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and life changes.

Her tone is direct and practical, aimed at parents who want clear steps and steady support. Clarrissa believes people know their own story and brings a strengths-based perspective to each meeting.

Background and approach

She often uses focused, goal-oriented methods to help clients find small changes that make daily life easier. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and build simple habits that support lasting progress. Her background includes nearly two decades of professional practice in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC.

That experience has included work with drug and alcohol addiction, workplace stress, isolation, and issues common to young adults. She frames recovery and growth as a step-by-step process rather than a single event. In the therapy room she listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals.

Clients can expect practical tools for coping with anger, building self-love, improving family interactions, and reducing substance-related harm. The approach is straightforward, respectful, and focused on what works now. Clarrissa encourages anyone who is ready to make a change to take the first step.

She supports clients through small, manageable shifts that stack into meaningful progress over time.

Solution-Focused Care Online and Practical Options

Solution-Focused Therapy is a short-term, goal-directed approach. It focuses on what is already working and on small, concrete steps clients can take to move toward their goals. This method can help with stress, motivation, anger management, and specific problems like substance use by building practical routines and coping strategies.

Clarrissa pairs a strengths-based outlook with goal setting so sessions stay focused on change that matters. She works collaboratively to identify priorities and to try approaches that fit a family’s schedule and values. Over time she and the client review progress and adjust the plan together to keep improvements realistic and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow flexible scheduling around parenting and work demands and make it easier to check in between longer sessions. Choosing an online format can help clients maintain momentum, try new skills in real time, and keep therapy practical and accessible without travel.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
