About Larissa
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with four years of clinical experience, Larissa Childers focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with major life changes. She works directly with clients to talk through current problems and build ways to manage difficult feelings and reactions.
Childers prioritizes straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions aim to surface what matters most, identify patterns that keep problems going, and test small behavior changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, mood shifts, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms in ways that are understandable and concrete.
Her practice also addresses concerns linked to self-image and relationships, including body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. She helps people clarify priorities and rebuild routines after tough transitions.
Larissa works in a collaborative style. She and the client set goals and try approaches that fit day-to-day life. Progress is reviewed in short checkpoints so adjustments can be made when something isn’t working.
Sessions focus on skills people can use between appointments. Examples include brief breathing and grounding exercises, changes to daily routines, and communication practices to reduce conflict and improve connection. These tools are taught plainly and practiced in session so clients can use them on their own.

How Larissa’s approaches translate to online work
Larissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. These techniques focus on practical skills and behavioral changes.

Trauma-informed practices emphasize grounding and stabilization skills to manage strong emotions and reactions after distressing events.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Larissa will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She then recommends methods to try and adjusts the plan based on regular check-ins so the approach fits the client’s needs and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these benefits to maintain consistency and to practice skills between meetings, which helps translate work from session time into everyday life.
