More about Carisa
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
We all deserve to heal, to find meaning in our lives, and to have healthy, fulfilling relationships with ourselves, others, and the world around us. Clients I work with are often in therapy because they are overwhelmed by worry, stress, and sadness. I am honored to join my clients on their path to healing, as they bring courage, insight, and determination to our work together.
While my clients come from diverse backgrounds, and have different needs and goals, we all seek well-being and connection. I welcome clients of all gender identities, sexual orientations, backgrounds, beliefs, and cultures.
I have 6 years of experience in private practice, with additional training and certification in EMDR, ecotherapies, gender diversity and the LGBTQ+ community, and IPV, SA, abuse, and domestic violence.
While I see clients located throughout Oregon via telehealth, I live and work in the Portland area. I love spending time outdoors either here or visiting one of the many beautiful spots throughout the PNW.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
