Clarissa Davis, LPC-MHSP, LMHC

Clarissa Davis is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, anger, and career challenges. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients name problems and try workable steps forward. Her tone is steady and practical, aiming to make the first step feel less overwhelming.

She focuses on clear goals and small, doable changes. Sessions are a place to talk without judgment and to practice new ways of handling difficult feelings. Clarissa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test alternatives in everyday life.

Her background includes seven years of clinical work and licensure as LPC-MHSP and LMHC. She has worked with people coping with grief, low self-esteem, life transitions, and workplace stress. She also addresses family-related concerns such as blended family issues, communication problems, and separation or divorce stress.

Clarissa uses client-centered and solution-focused techniques to keep sessions practical and collaborative. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or needs support building momentum. Those approaches are mixed to match each person's goals and pace.

People can expect clear feedback, skills to practice between sessions, and simple ways to track progress. Clarissa aims to make therapy useful from the first meetings, helping clients build coping skills and handle daily pressures more effectively.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Clarissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace and goals, which can help people feel heard and understood.

She also brings Motivational Interviewing into remote work when someone is unsure about making changes. That approach helps clarify personal reasons for change and build practical steps forward. Finding the right blend of methods is part of the process, and Clarissa will work with clients to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and pace in a collaborative way.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for full conversations and seeing visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and brief chats or messaging are helpful for quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, childcare, or other commitments while still focusing on concrete skills and progress.
