About Venise
Venise Darisme, LCMHC, LPC uses an existential lens to help people find meaning and direction when life feels overwhelming. She blends that perspective with practical tools to address stress, anxiety, grief, eating concerns, depression, and major life changes. Venise writes plainly, listens closely, and helps clients identify values and next steps.
With 15 years of experience, she draws on client-centered practice and cognitive-behavioral strategies to create manageable plans. Sessions can include mindfulness and specific techniques for trauma recovery when useful.
Background and approach
Her background spans mental health, pastoral counseling, and work with people facing medical and cultural challenges. Venise earned a Master of Arts in Pastoral Clinical Mental Health Counseling and holds the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential and a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She combines clinical knowledge with attention to everyday needs like sleep, parenting strain, and career stress.
Her approach focuses on what clients want to change now. Conversations tend to be straightforward and grounded. Together they set small goals and check progress over time.

Online support
How existential and practical approaches translate to online care
Existential therapy helps people reflect on values, purpose, and choices when life feels uncertain; it supports conversations about meaning, identity, and direction. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, creating space for honest reflection and emotional support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and support healthier routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Venise will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, mixing deeper existential conversation with skills-based CBT or mindfulness practices as needed. The plan evolves based on what proves helpful in sessions and day-to-day life.
Online therapy via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates, reflect in writing, or check in between appointments. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across busy schedules and changing life demands.
