About Carissa
Carissa Martinez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, and depression. Carissa communicates in English and Spanish.
Her practice often focuses on helping people who struggle with attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, and communication problems. She also has experience with issues related to substance use, domestic violence, divorce and separation, body image, eating concerns, gender dysphoria, and sexual diversity including BDSM and kink. Carissa supports people facing infidelity and impulsivity concerns as well.
In sessions she listens closely and adjusts the conversation to what the person needs that day. She builds a plan together with the client rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Her tone is direct and respectful, and she works to make practical steps feel doable.
People who tend to put others first, struggle to say no, or lose their sense of self in relationships may find the work here practical and focused. Carissa aims to help clients name patterns, practice setting boundaries, and increase self-directed confidence over time.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Carissa does not take international clients and sees people based in Florida.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches meet online care
Carissa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and improving coping. One approach emphasizes identifying and shifting relationship patterns and attachment habits, which helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and fear of abandonment. Another approach focuses on skills to manage anxiety and depressive symptoms, using clear steps and behavioral practices to reduce overwhelming reactions and build steady routines.Choosing the right method is part of the work and is decided together. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match practical techniques to each person's goals and preferences.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, like shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions without travel time. Online work can also allow use of quieter spaces, fewer commuting barriers, and more consistent scheduling, which helps keep momentum between sessions.
