Narissa Huntley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with six years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults through anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma, and life transitions. Her clinical background includes delivering individual and family therapy in a range of settings such as private practice, home-based care, schools, homeless shelters, and community mental health agencies, which informs a practical and adaptable approach to care.

She centers therapy on self-discovery and increased self-awareness, helping clients learn what motivates them, what brings them joy, and how they communicate so they can live more authentically. Her style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she intentionally avoids stigmatizing labels.

Narissa blends cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and solution-focused techniques to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs. This flexible integration allows her to address a wide range of concerns from coping with life changes and parenting challenges to trauma, grief, and mood-related issues.

She encourages those ready to pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life and offers supportive guidance to empower change. Narissa looks forward to working with individuals and families who seek thoughtful, collaborative care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of work. This approach helps people build self-understanding, improve communication, and develop greater self-esteem as they navigate relationships and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and learning practical strategies to shift them. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills by teaching concrete tools to change unhelpful reactions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, offering tools to reduce reactivity, manage stress, and increase emotional regulation. It can be helpful alongside other approaches for clients dealing with anxiety, anger, or difficulties concentrating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Narissa will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to try techniques and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support while fitting therapy into a busy life. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across locations, and let clients choose the format that feels most comfortable for engaging with licensed professionals and therapists.
