Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Clarissa draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to explore attachment patterns and strengthen emotional bonds in relationships, making it useful for couples work and intimacy-related issues. Mindfulness therapy offers practical tools for grounding, emotional regulation, and reducing reactivity, which can support trauma recovery and day-to-day stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Clarissa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy feels relevant and manageable, encouraging client input at every step.

Online therapy with Clarissa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or clients in different locations. Working remotely allows licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care while adapting to each client's life circumstances and communication preferences.
