Narissa Huntley

Narissa Huntley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She presents a warm, interactive style and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for self-discovery. Narissa writes simple, practical plans with each person to address the problems that matter most to them.

Her background includes six years of direct counseling experience across many settings. She has worked with kids, teens, and adults in private practice, schools, home-based services, homeless shelters, and community mental health agencies. Those roles exposed her to trauma, family conflict, parenting struggles, grief, and mood concerns.

Narissa draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Existential and Mindfulness approaches. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change. Sessions emphasize clear dialogue, practical skills, and attention to personal values and meaning.

She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, coping with life changes, ADHD-related challenges, compassion fatigue, and career or financial stress. Narissa adapts the plan to each person instead of relying on labels. She focuses on small, actionable steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm.

For someone ready to make a change, she offers steady guidance and encouragement. The first conversations assess what matters most and set realistic goals. Narissa aims to support people as they learn what makes them feel more like themselves.

Therapeutic approaches and online care options

Many of Narissa's sessions draw on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people understand their own feelings and choices. This approach helps when someone is trying to make sense of changes or wants a nonjudgmental space to talk.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching skills people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Narissa will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods feel useful, then shape sessions to fit those needs in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Many people find remote sessions help keep momentum between in-person visits and make regular scheduling simpler. Talk with Narissa about what will work best for your routine and goals.
