About Venise

Venise Darisme is a licensed counselor with 15 years of experience who blends client-centered care with practical, evidence-informed methods. She holds LCMHC and LPC credentials and draws on therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and existential approaches to address a wide range of concerns.

Background and approach

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, eating and food-related issues, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and ADHD among other areas. Trained in counseling and mental health approaches that include trauma-focused and integrative techniques, she uses a flexible style to meet each person where they are.

Venise pairs empathetic listening with targeted interventions - for example using CBT to address unhelpful thinking patterns, mindfulness to build present-moment skills, and EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. She also attends to career, family, parenting, and life transition challenges while supporting issues like body image, multicultural concerns, chronic illness, and end-of-life care.

Based in Virginia, Venise offers multiple session formats and helps clients choose approaches that align with their goals and preferences. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical coping strategies, and attention to both emotional and behavioral patterns to help people move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Venise uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathic space where the client's own goals and strengths guide progress; this approach helps people feel heard and involved in shaping their care. She also regularly applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that identifies and shifts unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. When processing traumatic memories is needed, EMDR can be used as a structured method to help reprocess distressing experiences and lessen their emotional impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client's concerns, goals, and preferences to determine whether client-centered work, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness techniques, or a combination will best support progress. This partnership allows treatment to adapt as needs evolve over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care from different locations within the therapist's service area. These formats support consistent access to licensed professionals and allow the therapist to deliver the same therapeutic techniques and practical skills work used in traditional settings.
