About Larisha
Larisha Perlote is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers sessions on practical steps and real-life changes. She draws on her clinical approaches to help people reduce stress and handle anxiety. Larisha speaks plainly and focuses on strengths to guide people through hard moments.
She uses methods that help people clarify what matters and take manageable steps toward it. That can mean learning new ways to respond to strong emotions or shifting patterns that cause repeated conflict.
How Larisha works
Therapy often starts by naming immediate goals and then building simple tools to reach them. Larisha has eight years of professional experience working with issues such as relationships, family strain, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, intimacy concerns, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
Work can include addressing attachment wounds, blended family challenges, and problems tied to infidelity or separation. Her approach pulls from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and attachment-focused work, among others. Sessions mix listening with skills practice so people leave with concrete strategies they can try between meetings.
Progress is measured in small, practical steps rather than abstract goals. Clients who want help with life transitions, career uncertainty, or coping after disasters can expect short-term skill building and longer-term reflection when needed. Larisha aims to create a calm, direct space where people feel heard and can make steady changes.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what truly matters and commit to small actions that match those values. Online ACT sessions focus on identifying values, accepting difficult feelings, and practicing actions that move someone toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching concrete skills such as thought records and behavioral experiments that clients can practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That might mean starting with skills from CBT, adding acceptance work from ACT, or using attachment-focused strategies when relationship patterns are central.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, quick skill reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
