Larisa Citsay, LPC

Larisa Citsay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a state-credentialed mental health provider, who brings a background in psychological counseling to work with individuals facing a range of challenges. She has focused experience in crisis intervention, anger management, family systems, parent coaching, and supporting tweens and teens through transitional phases. Larisa also addresses relationship difficulties, including dynamics involving narcissistic individuals, and guides clients navigating life changes toward greater self-healing and self-discovery.

Her practice centers on helping people establish healthy boundaries, strengthen resilience, and build more supportive relationships with themselves and others. She takes an integrative approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, motivational therapy, and choice theory to tailor care to each person's needs. Larisa aims to provide a compassionate, goal-focused atmosphere that empowers clients to clarify their priorities, tackle difficult patterns, and move toward meaningful change. Her work emphasizes practical skills and insight so clients can better manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, anger, and challenges with self-esteem.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Larisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and habits so they can make practical changes in how they respond to stress, anxiety, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness practices in her work involve simple attention and breathing exercises that support calm awareness and reduce reactivity in moments of tension. Motivational therapy is used to explore a person’s own values and reasons for change, helping clients find internal motivation to pursue goals such as healthier relationships or improved self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Larisa collaborates with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, to attend sessions from home, and to choose the format that best supports how a person prefers to work with a licensed professional.
