About Narissa

Narissa Huntley uses a client-centered approach to help people get to know themselves better and make practical changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. Her style is warm and interactive, with a focus on listening first and building a plan that fits each person’s life.

She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also supports those facing parenting strains, relationship tension, anger, and the challenges that come with life changes.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in independent practice, schools, homeless shelters, and community mental health agencies. This variety informs how she tailors conversations and next steps. Narissa uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going and to test small changes that can help.

She pairs that with client-centered and existential approaches that invite honest reflection about values and purpose. Mindfulness skills and motivational interviewing are woven in when they fit the person’s goals. Sessions are conversational and practical.

Expect to talk through what’s most urgent, try straightforward coping tools, and set simple goals to track between meetings. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her experience spans six years and includes work with a range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, ADHD, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and mood disorders.

People looking for a collaborative, down-to-earth therapist in North Carolina may find this approach useful.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding of the person’s goals. In online sessions this means conversations are guided by the client’s priorities and paced to what feels most helpful. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses small experiments to test change. Online CBT often involves setting clear, doable tasks between sessions and reviewing what worked next time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That process can shift over time as needs change, and adjustments are discussed together rather than imposed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family obligations and to continue progress even when schedules are tight.
