About Larissa
Larissa Dovalina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate anxiety and other stressful life moments. She draws on a few different therapy methods and keeps sessions focused and practical. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of coping.
She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's priorities at the center of sessions.
Background and approach
That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client, while the therapist offers reflections and options. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her work and is used to identify and reframe negative thoughts that feed anxiety and low mood.
Mindfulness techniques are also part of her approach, helping people become more aware of thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up in them. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change or feeling stuck, by exploring ambivalence and supporting small steps forward.
Larissa has three years of clinical experience working with concerns such as stress, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and addiction. She aims to help people set realistic goals, solve practical problems, and build stronger day-to-day coping skills. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and reflects what matters most, helping people decide what to work on and how to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to spot and change thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. It often includes simple exercises to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client's daily life and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can work for brief check-ins, homework support, or more flexible communication between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules.
