About Clarrissa
Clarrissa Hazel is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of professional experience. She works with people facing addictions, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and the pressures of life transitions, including concerns common to young adults.
She focuses on practical steps and short-term tools that clients can use between sessions. Clarrissa frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to be direct and goal-focused, with attention to what can change now.
Clients often bring questions about motivation, drug and alcohol issues, workplace stress, isolation, or the stress of starting a new chapter in life. She also helps people dealing with parenting stress, family conflict, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Conversations typically aim to identify clear next steps and simple practices to try at home.
Her approach emphasizes small, doable changes rather than long theoretical explanations. She listens for patterns, highlights what is working, and helps set specific, measurable goals. This practical emphasis supports people who want focused work on coping skills and everyday functioning.
To begin, prospective clients use the site matching flow to describe their concerns and schedule a first session. The counselor uses that intake information to shape initial goals and to agree on the pace and emphasis of therapy.
Solution-focused work and online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small changes that move a person toward their goals. It emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical steps to try between sessions. This approach is often helpful for people dealing with addiction, workplace stress, motivation problems, and the kinds of transitional issues common in early adulthood.Clarrissa will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. That means talking through goals, trying techniques, and adjusting plans if something does not fit. The process is a team effort where the therapist helps choose strategies that match the client's needs and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep therapy consistent across job or school changes, which is often useful during the early adult years.
