About Clarissa
Clarissa Davis focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, and career concerns. She offers straightforward guidance and a calm, steady presence so clients can talk about what matters most. Clarissa aims to make the first steps feel doable rather than overwhelming.
She creates a space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are collaborative - she listens, asks questions, and helps people set practical goals.
How Clarissa works
Many conversations include skill-building for coping with life changes and improving communication. Clarissa uses techniques drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods. That means she follows the client's lead while also introducing tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used to clarify priorities and move toward small, concrete steps. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience and dual credentials as an LPC-MHSP (Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider) and an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor). She practices in Florida and brings that experience to online formats as well as other session types.
People who contact Clarissa often want help with relationships, family strain, grief, self-esteem, or workplace stress. She also supports those facing life transitions like pregnancy and childbirth, separation, or career change. The work is practical, paced to the client's needs, and focused on clear next steps.

Approaches to change in online sessions
Clarissa commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and following the client's priorities so sessions feel respectful and person driven. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and handle workplace or parenting stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clarissa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then shape sessions together. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to use more reflective listening, skill practice, motivational interviewing questions, or brief solution-focused steps in any given session.
Online therapy with Clarissa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, goal tracking, or shorter coaching-style exchanges, and they allow flexibility around work or family schedules.
