About Venise
Venise Darisme is a licensed counselor who uses an EMDR-informed approach alongside client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She brings 15 years in the helping professions and focuses on trauma, mood concerns, and stress-related issues. Venise aims to make sessions clear and practical so caregivers and busy adults can fit therapy into their lives.
She helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, and addiction-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with eating and body-image struggles, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and recurring sleep or anger problems.
Background and approach
Her practice includes attention to neurodiversity, chronic illness, and aging-related needs. Venise blends conversational, person-centered listening with strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She uses EMDR as one of several approaches when trauma or distressing memories are central to someone’s concerns.
Sessions emphasize simple tools people can use between meetings. Her background includes work with eating issues, grief, career transitions, and multicultural challenges. Venise’s clinical training and years of practice shape an approach that balances emotional support with concrete steps toward change.
She explains techniques in everyday language so clients know what to expect. Sessions may include talking, skill practice, and paced exercises tailored to each person’s pace. Venise works from Virginia and offers services in English for adults seeking help managing life changes, ADHD-related struggles, or compassion fatigue.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with respect and helping people find their own direction; it is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and eating concerns.
EMDR is used when past distressing memories keep affecting current life; it involves paced processing alongside careful support and can be helpful for trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what feels manageable, and which methods fit best. That process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions let people access therapy from different locations and formats. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or health limitations.
