Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Larissa Dovalina

Larissa draws from client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client's priorities guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring life changes and relationship concerns.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify patterns of thinking that contribute to anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behaviors. CBT provides practical tools for reframing thoughts, managing emotions, and developing actionable coping strategies.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients build awareness of the present moment and manage stress, emotional reactivity, and rumination. These practices can be useful for people coping with trauma, grief, or chronic worry.

Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. Larissa works together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts techniques over time so the approach fits the client's life and progress.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit support into busy schedules and different settings. These formats offer flexibility in pacing and communication style while allowing licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-oriented care focused on practical outcomes.
