About Narissa
Narissa Huntley brings a cognitive behavioral lens to a collaborative, person-centered practice that emphasizes increasing self-awareness and practical skills for day-to-day life.
Background and approach
As an LCMHC licensed in North Carolina, she draws on six years of direct counseling experience across a range of settings to support people coping with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Her approach blends structured skill-building with an emphasis on each person's values and meaning-making.
Her background includes individual and family work in independent practice, home-based care, schools, shelters, and community mental health agencies, which informs a flexible and pragmatic style. She aims to meet clients where they are, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to address concerns such as parenting, anger, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and blended family challenges.
The work often pairs evidence-informed techniques with empathy and curiosity to help clients build clearer communication, stronger coping, and more purposeful direction. Narissa frames therapy as a mutual process that honors resilience and invites gradual change.
Those seeking a respectful, warm, and goal-oriented clinician can expect a supportive partnership focused on practical tools, increased insight, and steps toward a more fulfilling day-to-day life.
How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care
Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and learning practical strategies to change unhelpful habits and manage symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening to support self-exploration and personal growth. Existential therapy invites conversations about meaning, values, and life direction, helping people clarify priorities during transitions or when facing questions about purpose.Narissa approaches treatment as a collaborative process, and she will work with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they explore priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan over time so the chosen approach feels like a good fit rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to arrange appointments around work, family, and other commitments. These options provide flexibility in how people engage with therapy, allowing for real-time conversations or shorter check-ins when that better suits daily life.
