About Larisa
Larisa Citsay is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She also focuses on codependency, commitment issues, communication and control problems, family problems, forgiveness, life purpose, narcissism-related patterns, self-love, women's issues, and young adult concerns.
Larisa uses a practical, integrative approach that pulls from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, motivational therapy, and choice theory. Sessions involve clear goals, skills practice, and checking progress. Clients can expect conversations about boundaries, patterns that keep repeating, and concrete steps to try between meetings.
In the room she breaks big problems into manageable pieces. She helps people notice thought and behavior patterns that increase anxiety or keep them giving too much. She teaches short mindfulness exercises and thought-reframing techniques to reduce reactivity and improve decision-making.
Larisa also offers parent coaching and support for parents dealing with tween and teen issues. She talks through practical strategies for setting limits, managing anger, and improving communication at home. Her work includes helping people identify when a relationship pattern is driven by control or narcissistic behavior.
Her goal is to help clients build stronger boundaries and clearer self-direction. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Larisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, stress, and relationship patterns by breaking problems into small, testable steps.She also uses mindfulness practices to increase awareness of emotional reactions and reduce impulsive responses. These are short, accessible exercises clients can use during moments of high stress or when setting boundaries feels difficult.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to decide which techniques to try based on their goals and what feels manageable. That means adjusting strategies over time and checking what actually helps in day-to-day life.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. Telephone or video sessions can reduce the need to be on camera or accommodate quieter surroundings, but confirm which are offered when you schedule.
