Clarrissa Hazel, LMHC

Clarrissa Hazel is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience helping people navigate addictions, relationship struggles, anger, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps that clients can use right away. Her approach centers on people’s existing strengths and what is already working in their lives.

She encourages small, achievable changes rather than big, overwhelming overhauls. Sessions are aimed at building motivation, boosting confidence, and reducing stress and anxiety. She also supports people facing parenting pressures, workplace strain, young adult transitions, and feelings of isolation.

Clarrissa uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify goals and to map clear steps toward them. That style emphasizes short-term, goal-directed work and practical strategies you can try between sessions. The work often looks like setting a few concrete actions and checking progress week to week.

Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical practice in Florida, with particular attention to drug and alcohol addiction concerns as well as mood issues such as depression and bipolar disorder. She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to help people develop tools they can reuse after sessions end.

Taking the first step can feel risky. She offers steady guidance and straightforward conversation to help people move toward a happier, more stable life.

How solution-focused work adapts to online therapy

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on setting clear goals and taking small, practical steps toward them. The approach asks what you want to be different, highlights what already helps, and builds on those moments. It can be helpful for addictions, motivation, and managing stress because it keeps attention on concrete progress rather than long histories.

Clarrissa frames therapy as a collaborative process. She will work with you to choose approaches that match your goals and preferences. Together you decide which exercises and short-term goals to try and review what works as you go.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also let a therapist focus on brief, task-oriented work between meetings, which aligns with solution-focused methods and helps maintain momentum.
