About Larissa

Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. She brings 22 years of counseling experience and speaks English. Parents and caregivers will find clear, practical help for common struggles like stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and sleep or eating concerns.

She uses straightforward talk and practical tools to make small changes that add up. Sessions can focus on emotion regulation, improving communication, or building daily habits that reduce overwhelm.

Background and approach

Larissa also draws on coaching techniques when clients want concrete steps and accountability. Her background includes work as a suicide hotline supervisor, a probation counselor, a high school guidance counselor, and experience providing telehealth counseling. She also teaches Master of Counseling students and leads yoga classes, which influence her calm, present style.

Larissa blends evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy with attachment-informed and acceptance-based ideas. She chooses methods to fit each person’s situation rather than using one fixed style. This flexible approach helps address issues such as trauma, intimacy concerns, ADHD, addiction, and compassion fatigue.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, interested families complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

Online approaches that fit family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions. It is useful when stress, anxiety, or low mood get in the way of living according to your values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that form in close relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating to loved ones, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and communication struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as situations change, blending techniques to create a useful plan together.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions reduce screen time, and live chat or text messaging provide quick check-ins and reminders. These options make it easier to fit counseling into weekdays, school runs, or shift work while keeping a steady focus on progress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
