How Marissa’s Approaches Work Online
Marissa draws on client-centered care to keep conversations focused on what matters to the person. That approach means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and helps set goals that feel relevant and realistic.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so small changes can reduce anxiety or lift mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, with tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Marissa works collaboratively to match techniques to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She will suggest techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan together as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video is useful for longer conversations, phone can work when internet is limited, chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
