About Larisa
Larisa Citsay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem problems. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings.
Her background includes crisis intervention, anger management, and parent coaching. She also works with relationship patterns that involve narcissistic behaviors and with tween and teen issues through a parent-focused lens. Larisa helps people set clearer boundaries and reduce recurring conflict.
Larisa uses an integrative approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, motivational therapy, and choice theory. She explains skills in plain language and practices techniques during sessions so clients can try them out right away. Sessions aim to make negative patterns easier to spot and change.
She guides clients toward concrete goals such as clearer communication, fewer angry outbursts, or stronger self-respect. Work often includes short homework tasks like behavior experiments, reflection prompts, or simple mindfulness exercises. Progress is tracked in small, measurable steps.
People who prefer a straightforward, skills-focused style may find her approach useful. She asks for a brief intake to match goals and then helps choose manageable first steps. Larisa provides care in English and works from New Jersey as an LPC.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify patterns that fuel anger and replaces unhelpful reactions with practical alternatives. Mindfulness practice trains attention to present-moment experience and bodily signals, which can reduce the speed of emotional escalation and create space to choose responses. Motivational approaches help clarify what matters most to the client and build small, achievable steps toward those values.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Larisa will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, daily life, and preferences. That means trying a method, reviewing how it went, and adjusting as needed rather than sticking to a single plan.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online care can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, fit sessions around work, or avoid travel time. It also allows practicing skills in the real environments where anger tends to arise, so techniques can be tested and refined between sessions.
