Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to address unhelpful thinking and to practice new habits. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's comfort. She listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals for managing anxiety, navigating life changes, or handling substance concerns.
There is attention to self-esteem, body image, intimacy-related worries, and career questions as they come up. Her work also addresses compassion fatigue and the mood swings associated with bipolar concerns, always focusing on skills that people can use between sessions. Marissa pays attention to women’s issues and the social pressures that affect mental health.
Clients in New York will find that she brings eight years of experience to the work. Conversations are plainspoken and goal-oriented, with an eye toward building resilience and clearer day-to-day routines.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Marissa commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through worries. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and attention-related struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats the choice of methods as collaborative, adapting techniques based on a person’s goals, daily routines, and what feels most comfortable. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan if something does not fit.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and modeling tools, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in, and messaging supports brief reflections between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
