Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and Marissa emphasizes a collaborative approach. She works with clients to set achievable goals, adjust strategies when needed, and notice progress over time.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It helps people reduce anxiety, improve mood, and build routines that support better sleep and self-esteem. The Gottman Method looks at communication patterns and concrete skills for couples to build trust and manage conflict more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marissa will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools one week and relationship skills the next, adapting the plan as progress and challenges arise.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as the profile does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel, or family responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let people keep regular weekly meetings without a commute. Many people find this flexibility helps them stay consistent while trying new skills between sessions.
