Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you
Marissa draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional responses; this approach can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and relationship repair. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools for symptom management. For trauma-related work, Marissa incorporates EMDR — a structured method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their disruptive impact.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marissa works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors interventions from these methods to create a personalized plan that evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy provides practical flexibility: sessions can occur via video calls or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, stay connected during life transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals without geographic constraints.
