About Narissa
Narissa Huntley uses a person-centered approach to guide people through self-discovery and change. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who helps clients understand what makes them feel stuck and what brings them satisfaction. Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental.
She draws on several ways of working, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness, to tailor conversations and practical steps to each person. Sessions focus on everyday choices, thought patterns, and small experiments that can shift how someone feels. Narissa emphasizes clear, respectful dialogue and avoids stigmatizing labels.
Her background includes six years providing counseling in varied settings. She has worked in private practice, schools, community mental health agencies, homeless shelters, and home-based programs. That range informs how she adapts plans to different lives and routines.
Narissa has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and major life changes. She also addresses concerns such as stress, relationship problems, self-esteem, ADHD, and money and financial issues. Her approach aims to connect practical tools to the values people care about.
The first visits focus on understanding what matters to the client and building a plan together. Sessions typically blend listening with concrete skills practice, goal setting, and checking progress. She encourages steady steps and supports people as they try new ways of coping.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's values and goals. In online sessions this means the therapist centers the conversation around what matters most to the client and adjusts the pace and focus accordingly.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical alternatives. Online work often uses brief skill practice, thought records, and short experiments the client can try between sessions to see what changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is tracked and plans are adjusted together.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or make it simpler to attend when schedules vary. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and technical comfort.
