About Larissa
Larissa Dovalina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate difficult life moments. She focuses on practical support when stress, anxiety, depression, or other challenges make daily life harder. Her work is straightforward and aimed at helping people notice patterns, set goals, and take small steps forward.
She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's priorities front and center. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her practice and helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts that lead to upsetting feelings and behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are also used to help slow down racing thoughts and bring attention back to the present. In sessions she works on things like relationship strain, grief, parenting struggles, and coping with big life changes. She also addresses issues such as addictions, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and bipolar-related challenges when they come up.
The tone in her work is collaborative and goal-oriented, not overly technical. Larissa brings three years of professional experience and holds Texas licensure as LPC TX LPC 83135. Sessions are offered in English and are provided remotely for people located in Texas.
She aims to create a clear plan, with doable steps, that matches each person's needs and pace. People who want practical tools, clear feedback, and steady encouragement may find her style helpful. Her approach balances listening with active strategies to help move toward better daily functioning and improved relationships.
How therapy approaches shape remote care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the client define their own goals and priorities. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to sort through choices and feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts that lead to distressing feelings and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy complements CBT by teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and bring focus back to the present.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit best for a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can blend elements from different approaches so the plan matches what the client is trying to achieve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats let people connect from home, fit sessions around busy schedules, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals adapt their methods to remote work so clients can use practical tools, receive feedback, and practice new skills between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
