About Clarissa

Clarissa Amorino is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She focuses on meeting people where they are and supporting them through concrete steps. Clarissa emphasizes personal strengths and practical change rather than quick fixes.

She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and brings a supportive, down-to-earth style. Sessions often look like focused conversations about what is happening now and small, doable moves forward. She also helps people dealing with addiction, panic, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation.

Clarissa uses approaches such as client-centered methods, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness tools, and trauma-focused practices. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what each person needs and prefers. Techniques may include grounding skills, emotion regulation practices, and paced exploration of difficult memories.

She holds an LCSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker credential in Utah, and has five years of experience in the field. Clarissa aims to create a calm, practical space for people to try new ways of coping and to rebuild confidence.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on their goals and then works with them to create small, achievable steps. The work is collaborative and paced to the individual's comfort and readiness.

How Clarissa’s approaches work in online therapy

Clarissa uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach centers conversations on the client's goals and strengths and helps build realistic steps toward change.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, which teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, reducing panic, and improving relationships. DBT skills include mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Clarissa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean trying skills-based work, gentle trauma processing, or a mix of both depending on how someone responds.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also let people practice mindfulness and coping skills in the settings where they live and work, which can help skills generalize to everyday life.
