About Carissa
Carissa Martinez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Carissa speaks both English and Spanish and provides care across a range of emotional and interpersonal struggles.
Her practice focuses on clear, respectful conversations. Sessions are used to identify what feels most difficult and to set practical steps forward. She adapts the pace and topics to each person rather than following a rigid script.
Carissa also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating-related problems, substance and addiction challenges, and communication difficulties. She has worked with people facing infidelity, separation and divorce, and gender dysphoria among other stressors. Sessions often include discussing patterns that keep problems repeating and trying small changes to test what helps.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques rather than a single fixed method. This means she draws on methods that match each person’s goals and situation. Over time she and the client track progress and adjust what they focus on.
People who prefer straightforward conversation and practical steps tend to fit well with her style. To begin, a short intake and scheduling step is used so sessions can start efficiently.
Approaches and how online sessions work
Carissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and understanding patterns. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety high and interfere with speaking up or meeting others. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns to clarify how past experiences affect current fears and interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean trying a skill-focused method for a few sessions and then shifting to relational work if that makes more sense.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone choose sessions that suit their routine, such as a midday break or an evening appointment, without implying any particular technical setup.
