About Clarissa
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 14 years of experience, Clarissa Ledsome focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, and eating-related concerns. She helps people who are struggling with drug and alcohol problems, disordered eating, and the effects of sexual or other abuse. Sessions are conducted in English and follow evidence-based therapeutic techniques where relevant.
Clarissa draws on work in residential treatment, outpatient programs, and private practice. She has supported people through recovery from substance use and through eating and body-image challenges. Her background includes individual, couples, family, and group settings, which informs how she structures sessions and sets practical goals.
In meetings she talks through patterns that keep people stuck and looks for small, usable changes. She helps clients notice coping behaviors and offers alternative skills to manage emotions and cravings. When eating and body-image are central, she uses approaches that align with Health at Every Size and All Foods Fit principles to reduce shame around food and bodies.
Clarissa also addresses codependency, control issues, mood disorders, and forgiveness work. She aims to help people rebuild self-regard and to set boundaries that support recovery and wellbeing. Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on concrete strategies rather than abstract theory.
Her practice uses a subscription-based payment model that can be canceled at any time, with cost varying by location. People should confirm current session format options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work via remote care
Clarissa uses evidence-based techniques that focus on concrete skills and behavior change. For example, cognitive-behavioral strategies help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ways of coping; this is often used for mood issues, anxiety, and relapse prevention. She also integrates approaches that reduce shame around eating and body image, such as principles from the Health at Every Size and All Foods Fit perspectives, which shift attention from weight to flexible eating and body respect.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances. That collaborative process includes reviewing what has or hasn’t worked before and adjusting techniques as needed.
The practical benefits of remote sessions depend on the formats offered, which are not specified in the biography. Please confirm current session options before booking. Remote work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals, including this counselor, can adapt exercises, homework, and relapse planning to remote formats so progress continues between sessions.
