Background and approach
Narissa has six years of clinical experience across a range of settings. That work has included independent practice, home-based services, schools, shelters, and community mental health agencies. This variety has exposed her to many different life situations and concerns.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral work, mindfulness, and motivational techniques. She adapts conversations and plans to match each person’s needs, preferences, and daily realities. Clients leave sessions with clear steps to try between meetings.
She also helps people facing family stress, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, anger, career questions, and burnout or compassion fatigue. Narissa describes therapy as a partnership focused on small, steady change. She encourages people to take the first steps toward a more manageable and meaningful life.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person in front of the therapist. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name values and goals. This approach is useful for building self-awareness and steadying difficult emotions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It gives concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood, impulsivity, and daily routines that often challenge people with ADHD concerns.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them. These short practices can reduce reactivity, improve focus, and provide simple strategies to use between sessions.
Narissa treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most. The therapist and client work together to pick tools and homework that fit real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat or messaging can be shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days.
