About Clarissa
Clarissa Reed is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 24 years of experience. She has worked in independent practice and community settings. Clarissa focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns through straightforward, compassionate care.
Her work has included independent practice since 2003 and roles as a mobile therapist and behavioral specialist. That range gives her experience with practical everyday struggles like sleep problems, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and career-related pressure.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy. Clarissa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where people are heard and understood. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for skills-based work on thoughts and behaviors.
Existential Therapy is part of her approach when clients wrestle with meaning, values, or life transitions. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs. Clarissa aims to keep language plain and goals realistic.
She helps people build coping strategies, improve communication, and make concrete changes that match their priorities. People often bring concerns about self-esteem, codependency, substance use, ADHD, or recurring conflict. Clarissa works with those topics by focusing on clear steps, practical tools, and steady support.
Her style is steady, respectful, and oriented to everyday life.

How Clarissa’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Clarissa uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting working relationship where the person feels heard and respected; this approach focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds practical tools such as thought records and behavioral experiments that translate well to online formats because homework and worksheets can be shared between sessions. Existential Therapy is used when clients are facing questions about meaning, values, or major life changes and involves open conversations about choices and priorities.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Clarissa will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as needed. That means sessions can emphasize skills, problem-solving, or deeper reflection depending on what a person needs at the time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can serve for short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work or family schedules and make consistent care more accessible.
