About Larisa
Larisa Citsay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting, anger, and self-esteem, and she names life purpose among her focus areas.
Larisa helps people manage conflict and communication problems. She also supports work on codependency, commitment issues, control struggles, and family problems. Her background includes parent coaching and addressing tween and teen issues as they affect parents and caregivers.
Her stated approach is integrative. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational therapy, and choice theory. In practice this means sessions include looking at patterns of thinking, trying small behavior changes, and using mindful awareness to reduce reactivity.
Sessions emphasize setting clear goals and learning practical skills. Clients practice asserting boundaries, managing anger, and strengthening self-respect. Larisa describes her style as goal-focused and collaborative, helping clients test changes between sessions and notice what works.
People often come when a life change has left them unsure what comes next. She supports those who want to reduce anxiety, improve relationships, or explore a sense of purpose after transitions. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Larisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on specific thoughts and actions and can be useful for anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem.She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness work typically involves short exercises and learning how to observe thoughts and sensations without immediate reaction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Larisa will discuss options and collaborate with clients to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and daily life. This is an active process that may shift as progress is made.
