About Larisha

Larisha Perlote is an LMFT practicing in Texas who draws on an integrative approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, trauma, grief, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes collaborative work that centers each person's strengths and lived experience, guiding clients toward practical skills and clearer perspectives that fit their unique situation. With eight years of professional experience, she has supported those coping with attachment and adjustment issues, intimacy and parenting concerns, anger and self-esteem challenges, career questions, and mood-related conditions such as bipolar disorder.

Her practice also addresses complex family dynamics including blended families, divorce and separation, family-of-origin wounds, and problems that arise after natural or human-caused disasters. Larisha uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance-based and attachment-focused strategies, tailoring interventions to individual goals.

She invites clients to explore their priorities and build on existing strengths while developing new coping tools and healthier ways of relating.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing alternatives that reduce distress and improve functioning; it is often used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals, which can be useful for life transitions, chronic stress, and rumination. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early bonds to build more supported ways of relating and to address intimacy and family-centered difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances and will recommend or combine approaches that best fit the client’s needs rather than relying on a single method.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and allow work to continue from home or another convenient location. These options make it easier to maintain consistent treatment while accommodating different communication styles and day-to-day demands.
