About Narissa
Narissa Huntley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who focuses on helping people understand themselves and gain more control over their lives. She emphasizes straightforward self-discovery to learn what makes someone tick, what brings joy, and how communication affects relationships. She uses a warm, interactive style that treats people with respect and compassion.
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than labels. That approach is useful when dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, or the strain of parenting and caregiving.
Background and approach
Narissa's background includes six years of direct counseling experience across varied settings. She has worked in independent practice, schools, home-based services, homeless shelters, and community mental health agencies. That variety gives her practical experience with different life situations and stressors.
In session she blends client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral tools, existential questions, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with attention to feelings and values when needed. People can expect to talk through ways to change unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and practice calming skills.
She also supports people facing family difficulties, divorce and separation concerns, parenting strains, anger and impulsivity, ADHD-related challenges, and career or financial stress. Narissa aims to meet each person where they are and tailor a plan that fits their life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support while people explore changes they want to make.

How Narissa's approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It creates space to name feelings, clarify values, and guide choices, which helps when someone is sorting through relationship issues, identity questions, or family stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, anger, and impulsivity.
Motivational Interviewing helps people move toward change by exploring their own reasons and goals. It is practical for career shifts, habit changes, and improving self-care when motivation feels stuck.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, suggest techniques to try, and adjust the plan together based on what works for the client.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people maintain the feel of face-to-face work while fitting sessions around work or school. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on low-data connections. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, journaling support, and a way to work through ideas between sessions. These options can make ongoing care easier to schedule and maintain.
