Larson's first job was performing in sketches on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Soon after, she was cast in the television series Schimmel, which was announced but never aired, since right before filming Robert Schimmel was diagnosed with cancer. After being "on hold" for ten months FOX canceled the show. Three weeks later she auditioned for a new show on The WB, which at the time was called In Your Dreams. Larson landed the role of Emily (the youngest daughter to Bob Saget's character). The show was selected for the 2001–2002 fall season and was renamed Raising Dad, but was canceled late into the season, so she was not able to audition for a new series until the next pilot season. Larson was also cast in the pilot for the ABC sitcom Hope and Faith, but she and some of the other cast members were dropped.
In 2003, Larson was cast as Courtney Enders in the Disney Channel Original Movie Right on Track, which was based on a true story. In July 2004, she co-starred with a large cast of teen actors in the film Sleepover. She also had a small role in the movie 13 Going on 30. Larson also appeared in the film Hoot, opposite actors Logan Lerman and Cody Linley, both of whom are very good friends of hers. The film opened on May 5, 2006. Larson's voice is also featured in the movie Farce of the Penguins as a teenage penguin. She played Angie in the 2007 comedy/drama Remember the Daze.
Larson appeared in the 2008 short film The Babysitter, written and directed by David H. Steinberg and co-starring Josh Cooke, Molly Hagan and John Kapelos. The film can be seen exclusively online at Atom Films.
Larson appeared in an episode of Ghost Whisperer in January 2008. She also has a role as Kate in the 2008 film, Tanner Hall, directed by Francesca Gregorini and Tatiana von Furstenberg.
Larson plays the character Kate Gregson on the Showtime series United States of Tara. The first season premiered in January 2009 with 12 episodes, and concluded in early April 2009. The show is currently in its third and final season.
Larson plays Envy Adams, Scott Pilgrim's ex-girlfriend in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Envy Adams is the lead singer for the wildly popular group The Clash At Demonhead.
Larson has been cast as a nanny in the upcoming third season of the FX show The League.
