About Larisha

Larisha Perlote is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She emphasizes practical support and steady guidance so people can take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Larisha frames clients as experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on during work together.

She uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and attachment-based ideas to address relational patterns. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with tools people can try between meetings. Larisha also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and dialectical skills to help with emotion regulation and coping.

Her background includes eight years of clinical experience working with adjustment challenges, relationship conflict, family stress, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting concerns. She supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, commitment worries, communication problems, infidelity, and life transitions.

In sessions she aims to create a respectful space where people can name what matters most and take realistic steps toward change. The work often includes practicing new ways to respond to intense feelings, improving communication habits, and clarifying values and goals.

To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Larisha works in English and holds the LMFT credential, practicing in Texas.

How Larisha’s approaches translate to online therapy

Larisha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral ideas. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings show up, which can help with stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and she will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice new skills between sessions in everyday settings and bring real-life examples into conversation.
