Larissa Rzemienski, LPC

Larissa Rzemienski, LPC, offers calm, straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and questions about identity and intimacy. She speaks in plain terms and helps clients figure out practical next steps. Her background includes many years in school and community settings, and she brings that experience into sessions.

She trained in counseling at Arizona State University, earning a Master of Counseling and later an Education Specialist degree in Educational Leadership. She also has an MBA in Marketing and more than two decades of counseling work. That work has included roles as a suicide hotline supervisor, probation counselor, telehealth counselor, and high school guidance counselor.

Larissa uses a mix of approaches to meet what each person needs. She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. She tailors the methods to the issue at hand rather than sticking to one fixed model.

She has practiced in telehealth for several years and is familiar with remote workflows. Her experience includes working with people across a wide range of concerns such as depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, parenting strain, and career stress. She also addresses focused topics like abandonment, blended family challenges, body image, and caregiver stress.

Larissa works from Arizona and conducts sessions in English. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. She aims to make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Larissa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and decide what matters most to them, then commit to small steps toward those values. It is helpful for anxiety, life transitions, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Larissa will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as therapy progresses.

Larissa has experience doing telehealth and values how online work can fit into busy lives. If you are interested in remote sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to join from a quieter place, use shorter check-ins around a break at work, or avoid travel time, while still focusing on concrete coping tools and practices learned between sessions.
