About Carisa

Carisa Givens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, family challenges, career concerns, and life transitions. She works with individuals and families on relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. Fluent in English and Spanish, she combines professional training with a warm, interactive style that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion rather than stigmatizing labels.

Her work often addresses practical problems like communication difficulties, codependency, commitment and control issues, and sleep or anger concerns, while also helping clients explore deeper themes such as attachment, emptiness, guilt, and forgiveness. She integrates evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered principles, and mindfulness-based practices, and adapts treatment plans to each person’s unique needs and goals. Carisa values collaboration and empowerment, helping people take courageous steps toward more fulfilling and balanced lives while offering steady support through change.

Clients who are ready to begin a therapeutic process can expect individualized care that honors their background and preferences, with attention to realistic coping skills and meaningful personal growth. Carisa looks forward to working with those who seek practical tools, compassionate listening, and thoughtful guidance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Carisa draws on several proven approaches to tailor online care to each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports moving toward meaningful values and goals - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, providing practical tools for depression, panic, sleep problems, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating a respectful space where clients explore identity, relationships, and deeper emotional concerns.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carisa works collaboratively with each person - assessing needs, discussing options, and adjusting methods as goals and preferences emerge so therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around.



Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility and easier access to licensed professionals. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different comfort levels with communication styles, and maintain continuity during life changes or when in-person meetings are difficult. Carisa uses these formats to provide consistent, goal-oriented support aligned with each client’s needs.
