Therapeutic approaches and online care



Marissa integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, validation, and supporting clients to find their own solutions; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and strengthening motivation. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping strategies - often applied for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. When emotional regulation or intense interpersonal conflicts arise, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy can be introduced to teach skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is collaborative. Marissa works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, then tailors methods and pacing so the work feels relevant and achievable. Together they build on strengths and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.
