Larissa Dovalina, LPC

Larissa Dovalina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings three years of clinical experience and a steady, hands-on approach to helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward.

She focuses on common life pressures such as stress and anxiety as well as depression, relationship strain, and coping after loss. Larissa uses clear, practical methods so sessions stay focused on the problems that brought someone in. Conversations aim to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small, doable changes that can lead to relief.

Her work draws on client-centered ideas and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice their thoughts and change how they respond. She also uses mindfulness tools to bring attention to the present moment and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress.

Sessions are collaborative. Larissa listens first, then helps clients pick concrete steps they can practice between meetings. She emphasizes goal setting, problem solving, and rebuilding connections that feel important to daily life.

People come to her for many concerns including trauma and abuse, addiction, self-esteem, parenting stress, grief, eating-related issues, anger, career transitions, bipolar concerns, intimacy questions, and other life changes. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping each person find realistic ways to feel better and regain a sense of direction.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps people talk through current struggles and decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical ways to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. These methods are often used together to address stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT tools for certain issues and using client-centered listening or mindfulness practices at other times.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a work break, and sessions without video can be an option when bandwidth is low or a quieter environment is needed. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and Larissa will help adapt techniques so they work in the way that best fits each person's routine and needs.
