About Marissa
She focuses on listening first. In early sessions she asks about strengths, challenges, and what a better day looks like. That information shapes a straightforward plan that fits each person’s life and goals. Sessions are collaborative - the client and therapist decide what to try together.
Her style blends talk therapy with practical tools. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, acceptance and commitment strategies, and attachment-informed perspectives. Those methods are adapted to the client rather than applied the same way to everyone.
Marissa has three years of experience as a clinical social worker and holds LCSW credentials in Louisiana and Virginia. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where someone can be honest about what’s hard and try new ways of coping.
If you’re juggling big transitions, grief, or the aftereffects of trauma, she helps people sort priorities and take the next small step. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and self-view, which can be helpful for intimacy problems, abandonment issues, and family of origin concerns.Finding the right approach is a team process. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit each person. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the sessions can be adjusted over time to what works best.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It also supports practicing mindfulness and behavioral exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can help tailor the rhythm and tools of sessions to match daily routines and goals, making therapy practical and manageable.
