About Clarissa
Clarissa Davis is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and career strain. She brings seven years of clinical experience and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day. Clarissa aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels hard and find clearer paths forward.
Her approach blends direct problem-solving with attention to the person behind the problem.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-Centered Therapy guides her to follow each person’s pace and priorities while building a respectful therapeutic relationship. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients want help finding internal motivation for change, such as setting career goals or managing anger.
Solution-Focused Therapy supports short-term goal work, like developing specific coping strategies for anxiety or stress. Clarissa has training and licenses in Tennessee and Florida, written as LPC-MHSP and LMHC. She works from Florida and conducts sessions in English.
Her background includes seven years helping adults navigate grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship concerns, and life transitions. In sessions she concentrates on practical tools and small experiments clients can try between meetings. She also helps people reflect on attachment and communication patterns that shape relationships.
The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day living.
Online approaches and how they work
Clarissa often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety and teaching concrete skills to change them. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead so goals feel personally meaningful.She also borrows techniques from Motivational Interviewing when people are weighing change. That approach uses guided conversation to uncover what matters most and build internal reasons to move forward. Together these approaches let sessions be practical and collaborative; Clarissa works with each person to choose methods that fit their needs and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a shorter break in the day or use less bandwidth, live chat offers a real-time but lower-intensity option, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family life, and busy schedules.
