Clarissa Peralta, LCSW

Clarissa Peralta is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Texas and has three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. Clarissa also supports those adjusting to major life changes and people facing postpartum challenges. She approaches the first session with respect and a belief that each person knows their own story and strengths.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens and helps clients set small, doable goals. Conversations often focus on practical steps to reduce symptoms and rebuild routines. Clarissa respects each person’s pace and priorities when planning next steps.

Clarissa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps clients name patterns that fuel stress and anxiety, and then practices new ways of responding. For grief and loss she works with people to process emotions and find ways to remember and adjust.

She also pays attention to aging and geriatric issues when they affect daily life and mood. That can mean supporting someone through health-related changes, role shifts, or challenges in adjusting to later-life transitions. Clarissa offers a calm, steady presence while helping people find coping strategies that fit their lives.

Starting work together begins with a short conversation about goals and what feels most urgent. From there she and the client map out practical steps and check progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Clarissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. She helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practices alternative responses that reduce anxiety and improve mood. That kind of work is practical and focused on skills you can use the same week.

She also supports processing grief and trauma by helping people name difficult emotions and build gradual exposure to upsetting memories or situations at a pace they can manage. This approach aims to make intense feelings more manageable and to restore daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Clarissa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt exercises and homework to work well between sessions, helping skills carry over into everyday life.
