About Larissa
Larissa Lucas helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy struggles, or depression. She works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment wounds, divorce and separation, sexuality, self-love, and women's issues. Larissa introduces a calm, patient presence so clients can voice hard things without judgement.
Larissa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in California. She brings 11 years of professional experience to sessions.
How Larissa works
Her approach starts by listening closely to each person's story and strengths. She frames the work as a partnership where clients set goals and move at their own pace. In a typical session Larissa asks clear questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
She offers practical steps to try between sessions so progress continues outside of the therapy hour. She also attends to emotions and relational patterns that show up in close connections. Clients can expect straightforward talk and gentle challenge when needed.
Larissa aims to make therapy feel doable and relevant to daily life. She encourages small, steady steps toward greater self-understanding and healthier relationship habits. To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability.
Sessions are offered through several online formats to fit different needs and routines.

Approaches that guide online work
Larissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding relationships and emotions. One common approach she draws on helps people track patterns in their relationships and attachment - noticing how past wounds show up now and affect trust and closeness. This can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and improving how someone connects with others.She also uses practical, goal-oriented methods that break larger problems into small, doable steps. These techniques help with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression by teaching simple skills to try between sessions and measuring small changes over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Larissa works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods as needed so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or when writing feels clearer than talking. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
