About Clarissa
Clarissa Peralta is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and life changes.

Her approach centers on treating each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Background and approach
Clarissa listens for strengths and builds on them to address current problems and patterns that cause pain. She often helps people untangle intense emotions like anger and overwhelm. In sessions she uses clear techniques to identify triggers, try new responses, and practice skills that make daily life easier.
She also supports those coping with trauma, relationship strain, postpartum mood changes, and aging-related concerns. Clarissa keeps conversations straightforward and focused. She aims to make therapy feel manageable even during stressful times.
People can expect direct guidance, gentle feedback, and step-by-step skill practice. Most work happens through online formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. This lets clients fit support into busy schedules and try short check-ins or longer sessions as needed.

Everything Clarissa lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Clarissa's practice.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Clarissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at real problems people face. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety and depression. This approach helps people shift day-to-day thinking and try new ways of reacting to stress.Another approach emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills. It teaches straightforward steps to notice strong feelings like anger, slow down, and choose different responses. That work is useful for managing intense reactions, handling grief, and navigating relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Clarissa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit short updates, brief coaching, or flexible communication when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work and family life while working with a licensed professional.
