About Larissa
Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who helps people facing sleep difficulties alongside stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She speaks plainly with parents and adults about practical steps they can try at home. Larissa brings 22 years of counseling experience to sessions and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful.
She blends talk therapy with tools that target thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Larissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help change unhelpful thinking and habits. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people live by their values while tolerating hard feelings.
Larissa trained at Arizona State University, earning a Master of Counseling and later an Education Specialist degree in Educational Leadership. She also holds an MBA in Marketing and has worked in schools, crisis hotlines, and probation settings. Those roles shaped a practical, problem-solving style she brings to sessions.
Her background includes years working in telehealth and as a high school guidance counselor. She currently teaches Master of Counseling students and leads yoga classes, which she sometimes uses to explain breathing and body-based strategies. Larissa has provided counseling for a wide range of concerns such as grief, relationship issues, depression, addictions, ADHD, and sleep problems.
She prefers a collaborative pace - listening first, then offering short, actionable steps to try between meetings. Clients who want clear, steady guidance about their sleep, mood, or stress often find this helpful. To begin, follow the site’s matching process and schedule according to availability.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify what matters most to them. It can be useful for sleep problems tied to worry or rumination and for coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and routines that keep problems going. CBT often targets sleep habits, anxiety, and low mood by giving concrete experiments and homework to try between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, using empathetic listening and reflection. This approach supports people who need validation and space to make decisions about relationships or caregiving stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Larissa will help clients choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the mix over time. That process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.
