About Larissa

Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 22 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Counseling and an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree, and she has worked in school and community settings. Larissa helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, addiction issues, ADHD, and blended family issues among other challenges.

She has a varied background that includes work as a suicide hotline supervisor, a probation counselor, a high school guidance counselor, and a telehealth counselor. She has experience with individual and teen counseling and has also taught counseling at the graduate level. In addition to counseling she has an MBA and practices and teaches yoga.

Her approach draws from several established methods. Larissa commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) depending on the person’s needs. She adapts techniques to address symptoms like anxiety, sleep or eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Larissa has delivered services in telehealth settings for several years and describes virtual work as practical for many people. She has experience communicating by video, phone, and messaging in clinical contexts. Before booking, readers should confirm the current online session options that she offers.

Outside of work she enjoys hiking, studying psychology and history, investing, teaching yoga, and spending time with her college-age daughter and pet rabbit. She is based in Phoenix, Arizona and conducts work in English.

How her approaches fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful habits, which can help with sleep, eating, anger, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repetitive interaction styles that affect relationships and parenting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Larissa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and situation. That process involves trying strategies, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to a single doctrine.

She has experience providing care via telehealth and has used video, phone, and messaging in past clinical roles. Because session options can change, confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also tailor techniques for remote sessions, for example by assigning brief at-home practice or using worksheets that work well over a call.
