With an emphasis on respectful, supportive care, Marissa aims to help people take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

CBT-Informed Online Therapy for Stress, Mood, and Relationships

Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves learning practical skills - such as thought reframing, behavioral experiments, and activity scheduling - that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support healthier patterns in relationships.

Within the context of CBT, she also focuses on building coping tools and problem-solving strategies tailored to each person’s concerns, whether those involve stress, depressive symptoms, or relational difficulties. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques and goals fit their needs, priorities, and preferences.

Online therapy modalities include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and communication. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different settings and to choose formats that suit their pace and comfort, making it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing other life commitments.
