Narissa Huntley

Narissa Huntley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people understand themselves better so they can make clearer choices and live more authentically. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and career concerns.

Narissa draws on client-centered methods to create a warm, interactive space. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also brings existential and mindfulness ideas to help people consider meaning and build present-moment skills.

Her background includes six years of direct mental health counseling in many settings. Narissa has worked in private practice, in homes, in schools, in homeless shelters, and at community mental health agencies. That range has given her experience supporting people through life transitions, grief, trauma, and mood concerns.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer self-understanding. Conversations are tailored to each person and their situation, with attention to communication styles and daily challenges. She avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to treat people with respect and compassion.

Narissa supports parents dealing with caregiving strain, blended family issues, and fatherhood concerns, and she helps people facing career decisions and financial stress. She also works with ADHD-related struggles, impulsivity, isolation, and compassion fatigue. Her goal is to help clients identify what matters most and take doable steps toward it.

Approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard, clarify values, and build confidence to make changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers tools for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and hard-to-change habits through practical exercises and short-term goals.

Mindfulness-based ideas help people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity. These techniques can be useful for stress, anger, rumination, and building attention skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as issues shift and progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try different ways of working together and bring tools learned in sessions into everyday life.
