About Larissa

Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 22 years of practice. She lists anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and grief concerns among her areas of work, along with ADHD and other life changes. She works with people across many life stages and has experience in school and telehealth settings.

Larissa earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Counseling from Arizona State University. She also holds an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership and an MBA in Marketing. Her background includes roles as a suicide hotline supervisor, probation counselor, high school guidance counselor, and telehealth counselor for teens and adults.

Her clinical approach draws on several counseling methods. She commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based ideas, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when appropriate. She adapts how she works to match each person's needs and goals.

Larissa has taught Master of Counseling students and brings that educator perspective to sessions. She has provided telehealth counseling for around four years and notes its ability to add convenience and flexibility for people fitting care into busy lives.

Practical session options listed in her biography include messenger, phone, and video. Outside of counseling she teaches yoga, hikes, studies psychology and history, cares for a pet rabbit, and spends time with her college-age daughter.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action, which can help with anxiety and life changes by clarifying what matters and practicing small behavioral steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxious reactions and improve sleep or coping. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Larissa will discuss what methods might fit and will adjust plans based on the person's goals, preferences, and response to treatment. This is a collaborative process where methods are tried and refined together.

Her biography indicates she has provided telehealth care and lists messenger, phone, and video as session options. Confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from a quieter place, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people practice skills in the settings where they commonly struggle, helping therapy connect to everyday life.
