About Marissa
Marissa Bracco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, sleep or eating struggles, and career or identity concerns. Her approach is calm and welcoming, aimed at building trust so clients can talk openly about what matters to them.
She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. Marissa blends client-centered listening with practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques when helpful.
Background and approach
Together with each person she sets clear, achievable goals and creates a plan that matches their needs and pace. Many people come to her for help after major life changes, when coping skills feel stretched, or when past hurt keeps affecting current choices.
She also supports those dealing with ADHD traits, attachment or abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build usable strategies for daily life. Marissa draws on long experience working in educational and community settings.
She keeps sessions neutral and nonjudgmental so people can explore difficult topics without pressure. Progress is often practical and gradual, with attention to both feelings and actions. Therapy is offered from Florida and delivered in English.
Marissa uses video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to meet people where they are. If someone prefers to move through steps slowly, she works at that pace and adapts tools to fit real-life schedules.

How Marissa’s Approaches Work Online
Marissa commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens closely and follows what each person brings to sessions, helping them shape goals that feel meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at current problems, personal goals, and what feels doable. Together they try techniques, adjust the plan, and choose the mix of listening, skills practice, and mindfulness that fits best.
Online therapy with Marissa uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make work with a therapist more flexible. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
