Background and approach
Marissa draws from approaches with research support, including cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical strategies. She uses these methods to help people change unhelpful thinking, build coping skills, and handle intense emotions. She also uses client-centered listening to understand each person's priorities.
She has nine years of clinical experience working with issues such as grief, compassion fatigue, anger, low self-esteem, and the effects of prejudice or discrimination. She also addresses relationship-related concerns like divorce, blended family stress, codependency, and control issues, as well as sexual assault, domestic violence, and substance use challenges.
Marissa offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful topics and learn coping tools. Her approach is collaborative: she helps people choose methods that match their needs and life circumstances. The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning.

04Online support
Approach-driven support through online sessions
Marissa commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding each person's priorities, helping people feel heard and respected while they sort out goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behavior and thinking to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they experiment with methods and adjust the plan based on how well techniques fit the client's life and needs.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief coaching between sessions. These options aim to provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
