About Clarissa
Clarissa Davis is an LPC-MHSP and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of clinical experience, practicing in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, and career difficulties. She also addresses relationship and family challenges, grief, self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Clarissa uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. She encourages practical steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and focused on what the client wants to change or manage.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that maintain distress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judging and Motivational Interviewing to support decision-making. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set specific, short-term goals and small experiments.
Clarissa has experience with issues that come up around blended family life, attachment concerns, commitment and communication problems, and workplace stress. She works with people coping with pregnancy and childbirth concerns, impulsivity, and separation or divorce questions.
Practical matters such as scheduling and cost depend on location and the subscription model used by the service. The subscription can be canceled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How Clarissa uses structured approaches in online sessions
Clarissa commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT helps people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and routines through short experiments and planned homework. Client-Centered Therapy offers a listening stance that keeps the conversation focused on the client's priorities and what matters most right now.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when clients are weighing change. That method uses reflective questions and focused conversation to clarify goals and build motivation for practical steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together the therapist and client decide which methods and short-term goals to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.
The practical benefits of online work depend on the formats offered. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when life is busy. Clarissa uses structured, goal-oriented practices in virtual sessions just as she does in person, focusing on concrete steps clients can practice between meetings.
