How Marissa Uses CBT and the Gottman Method Online

Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and daily habits that worsen stress or anxiety. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and action steps that people can try between meetings to test what works.

The Gottman Method is used for relationship work, focusing on communication patterns, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust. This approach gives concrete skills couples can practice in real situations to improve how they relate to each other.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marissa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels workable, then agree on methods and small experiments to try. That collaborative planning helps people see what fits before committing to a longer plan.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm available session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so sessions can happen between other commitments. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and how to adapt tools and homework for remote meetings.
