About Carisa
Carisa Givens is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who draws on 12 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and self esteem concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Her tone is warm and respectful, and she focuses on practical help over labels.
She uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions often include learning new ways to notice thoughts and feelings, practicing skills for day-to-day stress, and setting small, doable goals. Carisa adapts her communication and plans to each person's situation.
Her work covers relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family concerns, caregiver stress, career and work-related strain, and challenges like depression, bipolar mood concerns, and sleeping problems. She also helps with codependency, attachment questions, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Carisa describes her style as interactive and compassionate. She supports people through transitions, loss, and career shifts using straightforward methods that clients can try between sessions. She also offers coaching-focused conversations when that better fits a person's goals.
If you want help sorting through tough choices or rebuilding confidence, she guides practical next steps and helps you track progress over time.
