Carisa Givens is a licensed professional counselor based in Texas with 12 years of clinical experience. She holds professional counselor licenses in Texas (LPC 63292) and Oregon (LPC C6984), which enable her to work with clients across a range of concerns.
Her practice addresses issues such as stress and anxiety, grief and loss, career and work-related difficulties, family conflicts and blended-family dynamics, parenting and women’s issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, mood disorders including depression and bipolar disorder, anger management, self-esteem challenges, and coping with life changes. She also provides support for LGBT-related matters, coaching, and compassion fatigue, and offers mediation services when appropriate.
Carisa uses a warm, interactive counseling style and draws from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and solution-focused approaches. She customizes communication and treatment plans to fit each client’s individual needs and avoids applying stigmatizing labels.
She recognizes that seeking help takes courage and that beginning change can bring up nervousness. When clients are ready to take that first step, she offers support and encouragement as they work toward a more fulfilling, happier life.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For commonly experienced concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions - remote therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that best suits them: video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, accessible path to addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
