More about Clarissa
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in Georgia with over 10 years of experience working as a behavior counselor for adults, adolescents, and children. I have worked with clients with a wide range of obstacles such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, family concerns, and grief and loss. Trauma has affected all of us. I am here to guide you through these difficult times.
My counseling style is warm and personable. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused counseling.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Clarissa put me at ease very quickly and I feel I can talk to her very easily and do not feel embarrassed at all in her presence In the short time I have known her I have come to like her a great deal
She has been of great support to me. Patient with me and helps guide me through a really awful time of life. I am really grateful for her. Yes feel like I should be a poster child for better help. In fact I told our HR that if someone ever is unsure about this program to reach out to me. And I will assure them of how life changing this is. Not to mention affordable
Clarissa is a wonderful therapist. I feel like I could talk to her about anything that is on my mind and she always responds in a caring, warm and reassuring way. She also helps me recognize my self-worth and appreciate myself.
Even though I only had one session with Clarissa I feel like she has helped me a lot . The session and chats have really opened my eyes and I’ve done a lot of reflecting because of the exercises she sends me.
She is a really compassionate listener and counselor.
I’ve really enjoyed my sessions with Clarissa. I can already see the impact it’s making on my day to day
Although we have only met once. It feels good to know she is there.
Clarissa has listened, allowed me to be completely honest and without any judgment. She has helped me work through my difficulties step by step and always helps me to feel calm, much more in control and less overwhelmed. I always leave our sessions feeling better, every time.
Clarissa is kind. She not only listens but also helps me reflect. She’s helped me gain confidence in my own values and self worth. I feel validated and empowered after our sessions. I also appreciate how she challenges me to explore new ways of viewing the world around. I am so thankful to be working with her!
She is amazing and really understands. I don't know how she calms me down the way that she does
Clarissa is such a kind and wonderful person! I felt like I connected to her from the very first meeting. I leave each session feeling better and gaining insight on myself, and I look forward to our sessions every week. It’s only been a few weeks but she’s changed my life already, I can’t recommend her enough :)
