About Narissa

Narissa Huntley brings a client-centered approach to therapy, emphasizing self-discovery and authentic living through increased self-awareness.

Background and approach

She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and draws on six years of direct counseling experience across diverse settings including independent practice, schools, home-based care, homeless shelters, and community mental health agencies.

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and ADHD. She uses a blend of techniques tailored to each person, including cognitive-behavioral strategies, existential ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing, shaping conversations and treatment plans to the individual’s needs.

Narissa aims to create a warm, interactive counseling environment rooted in respect and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels and focusing on practical steps toward meaningful change. She supports clients through life transitions, impulse and mood-related challenges, blended family and caregiver stressors, and issues around identity, purpose, and relationships.

Those ready to begin a process of growth can expect collaborative guidance and consistent support.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experiences and values guide the work; this approach helps people clarify goals, build self-awareness, and strengthen their own problem-solving. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life transitions. Motivational interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and enhancing internal motivation for steps toward well-being.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and these methods are often combined to fit each person’s goals and preferences. The therapist collaborates with clients to determine which techniques feel most helpful, adjusting focus as needs evolve so the plan remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, support ongoing contact between appointments when appropriate, and allow people to engage in therapy from varied locations while working with licensed professionals.
