About Larissa
Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 22 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Counseling and an Education Specialist degree, and she combines those backgrounds when supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and other life challenges.
She takes a direct, conversational approach in sessions. Larissa uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside cognitive and acceptance-oriented methods to help people name difficult emotions and notice the patterns that keep those emotions active. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Her career includes work as a suicide hotline supervisor, a probation counselor, a high school guidance counselor, and telehealth clinician. She also teaches master’s students in counseling and leads yoga classes. Those roles shape a practical, skills-oriented style and a comfort with virtual care.
Larissa has worked with people across the lifespan on issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, caregiver stress, eating and sleeping problems, and career questions. She also lists focused topics like attachment difficulties, abandonment, blended family issues, body image, and coping with major life changes.
She has delivered counseling through telehealth for several years and mentions using messenger, phone, and video in past roles. Before booking, confirm which session formats she currently offers.

How Larissa’s approaches translate to online work
Larissa lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-Based approaches among her methods. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the patterns they create in close connections. It can help people notice how feelings drive repeated responses and open different ways of relating. ACT encourages accepting uncomfortable inner experiences while clarifying values and taking committed steps; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based work looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand recurring struggles with trust, closeness, and abandonment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Larissa will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as different issues come into focus.
She has experience delivering care virtually and previously used messenger, phone, and video. The site listing asks you to confirm current session options before booking, so please check which formats are available now. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on emotional patterns, skill building, and practical strategies that translate into everyday life.
