Larissa Rzemienski, LPC

Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and changes that come with illness or life transitions. She works with individuals facing depression, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, addiction concerns, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and career direction. Larissa speaks English and practices from Arizona, blending practical tools with thoughtful listening.

She brings over 22 years of counseling experience across many settings. Her background includes school counseling, supervising a suicide hotline, probation counseling, and telehealth work with teens and adults. She also teaches counseling students and leads yoga classes, and she notes that virtual sessions have been part of her practice for several years.

Larissa uses approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and elements of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and attachment-based work. In sessions she helps people notice what matters to them, try specific skills to reduce distress, and make small changes that fit their daily life. She adapts methods to each person rather than following a single protocol.

Her prior roles give her experience with crisis-adjacent situations, school systems, and probation settings, which informs practical problem solving in therapy. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and recovery from trauma or loss.

Outside of clinical work Larissa teaches, practices yoga, hikes, and spends time with her college-age daughter and pet rabbit. She uses a conversational, goal-oriented style and asks clients to set priorities so sessions stay focused and useful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Larissa draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and client-centered therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Client-centered therapy centers the client's perspective, using listening and reflection to help people clarify values and goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, checking in and adjusting as goals evolve. Clients are invited to set priorities so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Telehealth can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel and allowing sessions during work breaks or between appointments. Messaging, phone, and video have been part of her practice in the past, but prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can support skill practice between meetings and allow follow-up check-ins that help maintain progress over time.
