How Clarissa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps people set realistic steps and keeps sessions focused on what they want to change or improve.Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, reducing panic, and improving relationships with oneself and others. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and grounding practices to reduce anxiety and increase moment-to-moment awareness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Clarissa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress is made and as life circumstances change.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy or changing schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing other commitments.
