Hello! My name is Larissa Rzemienski and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Guidance Counselor in the state of Arizona. I attended Arizona State University for my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 1998 and Master of Counseling degree in 2001. I also have an M.B.A. in Marketing and Ed.S. degree in Educational Leadership.
I have been working as a counselor for over 20 years, and I have had a wide array of experiences during this time. I have served as a suicide hotline supervisor, probation counselor, tele-health counselor (marriage, individual, and teen counseling), and high school guidance counselor chair. In addition to counseling, I also teach Master of Counseling college students and I am a yoga teacher. I have worked with clients of all ages, and my specialties include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, meaning of life, grief, and much more. I really enjoy working in the telehealth field, and I have been seeing clients virtually for over 6 years. Telehealth is a great modality for treatment as it provides convenience and various options for services. In terms of the treatment modalities that I utilize, I tend to use Client Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The approach that I use for each client will differ depending on the needs of the client. I am available via messenger, phone, or video.
In my personal life, I enjoy practicing and teaching yoga, learning about psychology, politics, and history, hiking, hanging out with my pet rabbit, investing, and spending time with my college age daughter. I reside in Phoenix, Arizona.
I look forward to talking with you!

She is an incredibly warm, empathetic, kind, and compassionate therapist. I've had a few over the last several years and she is by far best I've ever known! I'm no expert in therapy and I never want to be one, but if you're looking for someone who will listen to you and make you feel hurt and also gently guide you you should definitely talk to Larissa!

Larissa does a great job. She’s empathetic and takes the time to truly understand your needs and addresses them in an effective way!
Written on Aug 27, 2026 after therapy with Larissa for 8 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and intimacy-related issues
She is a truly wonderful and compassionate therapist who creates a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment. She is an exceptional listener who takes the time to genuinely understand what you are going through without judgment.
What makes her stand out is her ability to help turn difficult situations into achievable steps. She works with you to find realistic solutions, set meaningful goals, and, most importantly, develop the confidence and tools needed to accomplish those goals. She doesn’t simply tell you what to do—she listens, guides, encourages, and helps you discover what works best for you.
Her patience, understanding, and dedication make it clear that she genuinely cares about the people she works with. She celebrates your progress, supports you through setbacks, and reminds you that growth takes time. I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and encouragement she provides, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who truly listens, cares, and helps you become the best version of yourself.

Larissa was the therapist that changes your perspective about therapy. I used to be skeptical then I decided to switch therapist and I met Larissa and she completely changed it. She’s so kind, you can feel that she listens and helps a lot! I have learned more with her in a few session than I did for 2 months with my old one. Highly recommend!

Larissa is great! She responds to my posts in a timely and understanding manner. She appreciates the stressors of my life.
We have set up goals for our work together that she makes sure I am addressing, and I feel we have done a good job of making appropriate goals as so far, they seem to be topical to what I'm going through each week.
It is nice having a telehealth mental health professional living in my area which I wasn't expecting. Actually, I didn't realize that until our second session.
She hears what I say, understanding me and validates my feelings and what I'm experiencing which is very important to me as that has not always been my experience with previous therapists.
I highly recommend Larissa!!

I’ve seen a few therapists in the past, but Larissa is by far one of the easiest to talk to and the most pleasant to work with! She’s very polite, respectful, a great listener, and she responds rather quickly! I’ve worked with her twice now because she’s easy to open up to and gives great feedback. I would definitely recommend Larissa if you want to feel heard and accepted!

Larissa does a good job of establishing what goals you want to achieve and keeping in touch with a message each day. She also does well with giving plenty of time to speak and making sure someone who has not sought mental help is able to navigate BetterHelp and what therapy is in general.

Game changer in the therapy world. So glad I found not only my person but a friend to confide in. As a busy mom of four kids, it is incredibly helpful to have a person to balance with. And I don't have to leave my house! I don't have to find babysitters. I recommend a BetterHelp and Larissa to everyone I come in contact with who may need a little extra.

Amazing counselor! So down to earth and she just "gets" it. I love working with her and we just click. She offers so many resources and she is honest with what her specialties are and isn't overconfident in her abilities like other therapists I had. If she doesn't know something, she will go out of her way to learn more. She truly goes above and beyond. This is best therapy experience I have ever had in life. Thank you BetterHelp! More importantly, thank you Larissa!
