About Venise
Venise Darisme, LCMHC, LPC offers a compassionate, client-centered approach to counseling. She focuses on practical steps people can use to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Venise keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so busy parents and professionals can fit therapy into daily life.
She draws on 15 years of experience in mental health and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University. That background informs her work on grief, eating concerns, trauma and abuse, and addiction.
Background and approach
She also addresses sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her toolbox includes cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories. Venise uses these methods alongside a person-centered stance to keep the client’s priorities central to each session.
Venise also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, immigration-related stress, and multicultural concerns. She supports people dealing with panic attacks, phobias, body image, and hospice or end-of-life counseling. Sessions are offered from Virginia in English and are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She works with practical goals like improving sleep, reducing panic, stabilizing mood, or managing eating-related patterns. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step will connect a person to the right session format and time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy places the person's goals and experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the client, and helps set goals that feel doable. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive space to sort priorities and make steady progress.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach simple skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood difficulties.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process distressing memories that keep causing strong reactions. When it fits the person's history and goals, EMDR offers a structured way to reduce the intensity of those memories and the symptoms that follow.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try different tools, and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and deeper conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, step-by-step assignments, and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on meaningful change.
