About Narissa

She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, based in North Carolina with six years of clinical experience.

How Narissa works
ADHD, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders are other areas she addresses. Narissa blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and existential perspectives. That means clients look at thoughts and behaviors, build present-moment awareness, and examine life meaning and values.
Motivational interviewing and narrative elements are used to support change and personal storytelling. Her background includes practice in personal and community settings and work in schools and shelters. This variety informs a flexible style that adapts to different situations and needs.
Sessions are conversational and focused on what will make a meaningful difference. Narissa emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works collaboratively to shape a treatment plan.
People seeking clearer direction, better coping tools, or support through difficult changes will find a straightforward, empathetic ally in her.

How Narissa's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaborating. The therapist follows the person's lead and helps them name priorities and goals, which works well for stress, family concerns, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers straightforward tools for anxiety, mood challenges, and managing impulsivity or anger by changing unhelpful thinking and testing new actions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment clarity. This can help with stress, compassion fatigue, and emotional overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they adjust techniques as progress unfolds so the work fits the person's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual rapport, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and caregiving demands.
