About Venise
Venise Darisme is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 15 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, eating and food-related issues, depression, addictions, parenting, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related life changes. She also addresses issues like intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her clinical background includes work with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, cancer, intellectual disability, immigration challenges, and multicultural concerns. She brings experience in eating disorder work and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Her training also includes approaches that consider nutrition in mental health and trauma-informed methods.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods combined with cognitive behavioral techniques and existential ideas. She may include mindfulness practices and EMDR where appropriate. Conversations are practical and focused on what the person wants to change at home and in daily life.
Venise draws on education in clinical mental health counseling and years in human services to shape how she works. She aims to help adults who are managing parenting stress, family conflict, or the impact of health and life events. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect fifteen years of clinical experience.

How sessions work
How Venise uses her approaches in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and perspectives. The therapist listens closely and helps people clarify what matters at home and in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns. CBT is helpful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their hold on daily life.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. That plan can change as sessions progress, and techniques can be mixed to match what is most helpful for parenting stress, family conflict, or other issues.
The practical benefits of working online include being able to fit sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in between other responsibilities or to have a shorter session when needed. Confirm current session format options before booking so you know what is offered and how to schedule a first appointment.
