About Larisha

Larisha Perlote is a licensed marriage and family therapist who blends Internal Family Systems with other evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma.

Background and approach

With eight years of clinical experience in Texas, she draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-focused work to support people facing grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, bipolar management, and major life adjustments.

She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and emphasizes strengths already present in their lives while offering guidance to build new skills for coping and communication. Larisha has worked with issues ranging from anger and self-esteem struggles to family-of-origin patterns, blended family difficulties, infidelity, and divorce or separation.

Her style centers on partnering with clients to explore patterns, increase emotional awareness, and develop practical strategies for day-to-day life. Available in English and practicing under the credential LMFT (TX LMFT 203758), she supports people through transitions like midlife crisis, career decisions, and recovery from loss or disaster.

Larisha invites those ready to take steps toward change to seek support and build a more fulfilling life.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care

Internal Family Systems helps people identify and relate to the different internal parts that influence emotions and behavior, offering a way to reduce internal conflict and increase self-leadership. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful behavior change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns formed early in life and improving emotional bonds and communication in current relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Larisha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques over time, adjusting focus as progress and priorities emerge so clients feel involved in choosing the path forward.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This variety allows people to engage in consistent treatment from home or other locations, making it easier to attend sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain momentum toward personal goals.
