About Venise
Venise Darisme is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 15 years of experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, eating issues, career questions, depression, addictions, family problems, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
Venise draws on client-centered therapy to build a working relationship focused on what each person brings. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and practical ways to change patterns. Mindfulness methods are woven in to support coping with anxiety and stress in daily life.
For people processing trauma, Venise includes elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside existential approaches that look at meaning, values, and life choices. Her background also covers eating and food-related issues and supports for those facing chronic illness, aging concerns, and multicultural stressors.
She brings training that connects mental health with nutrition and integrated care, and experience across applied behavior approaches, grief work, and substance-related concerns. Venise uses straightforward techniques and conversational check-ins to help people set goals and try small changes between sessions.
Venise works in English and sees adults dealing with life transitions like career starts, relationship shifts, and the pressures of early adulthood. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the practice's online options.
How Venise uses approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps people who feel unsure about next steps in work, relationships, or life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and sleep or eating concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories; it involves guided recall and structured processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Venise will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit those goals. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs and preferences become clearer.
