Larissa Rzemienski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Phoenix, Arizona, who brings more than two decades of clinical experience to her work with individuals, couples, teens, and families. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Arizona State University in 1998 and a Master of Counseling in 2001, and later completed an M.B.A. in Marketing and an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership. Her training and varied professional roles have informed a flexible, client-focused approach to therapy.

Over a 22-year career Larissa has served in diverse settings including as a suicide hotline supervisor, a probation counselor, a high school guidance counselor, and a telehealth clinician providing marriage, individual, and teen counseling. She also teaches Master of Counseling students and shares mind-body practices as a yoga teacher. These experiences contribute to her comfort working with clients across the lifespan and with a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family issues, trauma, addictions, LGBTQ matters, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.

Larissa typically tailors her methods to each person, drawing on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, reality therapy, and existential perspectives to meet individual needs. She has provided virtual counseling for several years and values telehealth for the convenience and variety of session formats it allows. Larissa enjoys hiking, learning about psychology and history, spending time with her college-age daughter and her pet rabbit, and pursuing interests in investing and yoga.

Prospective clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth clinician who strives to match therapeutic approach to each person’s goals and circumstances. Larissa welcomes conversations about starting therapy and the options available for remote sessions.
