Larissa really listens and guided me through a really hard time. She is encouraging, supportive and not judgmental at all. I found her very easy to talk to. 11/10 recommend if you find yourself in a difficult position or are struggling with loss and grief. She is knowledgeable and understanding. Thank you so much Larissa!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She was understanding and gave me insights that I’ll take with me moving ahead
Calming to speak with, actively listens but engages at the appropriate time to guide sessions. Great attitude and so kind.
Larissa has my total respect as a therapist. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I know a good therapist when I hear one. She is a wonderful listener and provides appropriate responses to difficult situations that requires therapeutic intervention.
