About Larissa
Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. She brings 22 years of counseling experience and a calm, straightforward approach to sessions. Larissa often works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy.

Larissa trained at Arizona State University, earning a Master of Counseling in 2001 and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 1998. She also holds an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership and an M.B.A. in Marketing. Her background includes school counseling, supervising a suicide hotline, probation counseling, and teaching graduate counseling students.
She has provided telehealth counseling for several years and mentions that virtual work fits well with many people's schedules. Larissa uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs, drawing from client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas as well as attachment-informed work and acceptance-based skills.
In sessions she focuses on practical, down-to-earth steps people can try between meetings. Conversations might cover communication skills, coping tools for anxiety, grief processing, or strategies to manage sleep and eating concerns. She also helps people clarify values and goals when facing big life changes.
Outside of counseling she teaches yoga, enjoys hiking, follows investing topics, and spends time with her college-age daughter and pet rabbit. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How Larissa Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear tools to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, sleeping and eating concerns, and mood symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connection and trust, and it can help with abandonment, communication, and intimacy-related struggles.Choosing a way of working is collaborative. The therapist and client talk about the problem, goals, and what feels useful. Larissa adapts her approach over time and mixes techniques so the plan fits the person's needs and preferences.
Larissa has experience providing telehealth and has mentioned messenger, phone, and video as ways she has worked. Confirm the current session formats before booking. Online options can make scheduling easier, let sessions fit into a workday or caregiving schedule, and allow a shorter check-in when needed without traveling. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice the same therapeutic skills as in-person work, while tailoring session length and focus to what works best for each person.
