About Clarissa
Clarissa Ledsome is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with addictions, trauma, and eating concerns. Her listed focus areas include body image, codependency, control issues, domestic violence, and mood disorders, among others.
Clarissa has practiced in residential treatment, outpatient settings, and private practice. She has worked in individual, couples, family, and group therapy environments during her career. These varied settings inform how she helps people navigate recovery and emotional setbacks.
In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck. She helps people name coping habits that once helped but now cause harm. Then she and the client try practical steps to change those patterns and build new options.
She uses approaches grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and leans into methods that address eating issues, trauma, and addictive behaviors. She also incorporates principles from Health at Every Size and All Foods Fit for eating-related work, focusing on reducing shame and building more flexible attitudes toward food and body image.
Clarissa encourages honest conversation about what is and isn’t working. She supports people who want to set boundaries, work through codependent patterns, or find steadier footing after trauma or addiction. To get started, users follow the platform’s process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques work in online sessions
Clarissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, addictive behaviors, and eating-related concerns. For trauma she focuses on grounding and skills that reduce overwhelming reactions and help people regain a sense of control. For addiction-related work she emphasizes relapse prevention strategies, identifying triggers, and practical steps to support recovery and healthier choices.She also integrates approaches that reduce shame around food and body image by helping people challenge rigid rules and develop more flexible attitudes. These methods aim to replace harmful coping behaviors with steadier ways of managing emotions and urges.
Finding the best approach tends to be collaborative. The therapist and client review what has helped before, what hasn’t, and what feels possible now. They adjust methods over time based on the client’s goals and feedback rather than sticking to a single technique from the start.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule and to continue care while balancing work and family. Different ways of meeting can suit different needs - for example a shorter check-in might fit a busy day, and sessions without video can reduce the need for high bandwidth. Ask about formats when you complete the matching questionnaire to pick what fits best.
