Marissa Geraci , LMHC

Marissa Geraci is a Florida-licensed LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with nine years of professional experience supporting adults through a range of life challenges. She has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and struggles with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Marissa approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she shapes conversations and care plans to reflect a client’s particular circumstances and goals.

She emphasizes practical, individualized strategies that fit daily life while also honoring the emotional work clients bring to therapy. Marissa encourages and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy, and she partners with clients to set achievable steps toward clearer thinking, stronger relationships, and renewed motivation. Her practice centers on tailoring dialogue and treatment so each plan aligns with what the client needs most at that moment and over time.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Marissa frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a goal-oriented approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and to improve daily functioning.

She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship concerns are central. The Gottman Method emphasizes communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding connection, offering concrete techniques couples can practice to strengthen trust and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marissa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors treatment plans and adjusts strategies as progress is made to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to licensed professionals. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can schedule care around work, family, and other commitments, maintain continuity between sessions, and work with a therapist from wherever they are located in the therapist’s service area.
