About Venise

Venise Darisme, LCMHC, LPC brings a person-centered approach to therapy. She focuses on listening and helping people find practical ways to feel better. Venise draws on 15 years of work in mental health to support people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and related concerns.

She uses straightforward methods like cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to increase calm and improve sleep. She also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning during life transitions.

Venise has training that includes eating disorder treatment and clinical trauma work, and she incorporates that experience when relevant. Her background includes work across behavioral interventions, parent guidance, career counseling, and grief support. This mix helps her tailor sessions to the issue at hand.

In sessions she uses practical exercises, gentle questions, and skills practice. Sessions often include short behavioral assignments to try between meetings. The emphasis is on small, achievable steps that build toward larger changes.

She works from Virginia and holds counseling credentials in both Utah and Virginia. Venise provides care in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Approaches you can use online with a counselor

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people steer conversations toward the changes they want. This approach is useful for depression, grief, and relationship or parenting strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach practical skills to change thinking patterns and build new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used when past traumatic events keep replaying in daily life. It combines focused recall with specific bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional intensity tied to memories.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as issues change and progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking to ensure they fit your routine and technical setup.
