About Marissa
She approaches each person as an individual and emphasizes collaboration. Sessions start by talking about strengths, challenges, and clear goals. Marissa listens for what matters most and adapts strategies to match each person's needs instead of following a fixed plan.
Her work draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused perspectives, and mindfulness practices. She uses these tools to help people notice patterns, build skills, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Conversations often include goal-setting and practical steps to try between sessions.
In the therapy room she focuses on building trust and practical change. Clients can expect straightforward discussion, skill teaching, and gentle guidance toward healthier habits. The pace is set by the client and adjusted as progress unfolds.
Marissa has three years of clinical experience and holds licensure as an LCSW in Louisiana. She invites people who want a respectful, goal-oriented approach to reach out and learn whether her style feels like a match.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by shifting focus toward meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and problem-solving in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early connections shape current relationships and reactions, and it can help with trust, intimacy, and patterns that repeat in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. Sessions can blend approaches so the plan fits the individual's needs rather than forcing a single model.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as this profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to try therapy from different locations and maintain continuity when schedules or circumstances change.
