Approaches Marissa names

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

CBT-informed strategies and online care

Marissa uses cognitive behavioral therapy as a core approach, which involves spotting patterns of thinking that increase stress and trying practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This method is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, and managing everyday stress.

She also blends coaching-style goal work into sessions, helping people set small, concrete steps toward goals like improving communication, handling parenting strains, or navigating career shifts. That approach focuses on action and tracking progress so changes become part of daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marissa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then shape a plan that may mix CBT techniques and coaching. She reviews what's working and adjusts the plan together as needs change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when they want that connection. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking goals, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping work focused on practical change.
