How Marissa’s approaches shape online work
Marissa uses Client-Centered approaches to create a supportive, respectful space where people set the pace and focus of sessions. This helps when someone needs to talk through sensitive topics like trauma, relationship stress, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build concrete coping skills. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, depression, and workplace stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and notice stress earlier. Mindfulness pairs well with other work aimed at emotional regulation and stress management.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then tailor methods to what works for each person. You can expect the therapist to check in about what helps and adjust the plan over time.
Confirm which session formats Marissa currently offers before booking as the profile does not list specific options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in during a work break. They also allow people to continue regular meetings when schedules or locations change.
