About Marisa
Marisa Levin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in repeating patterns. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with self-esteem. Her style balances warmth with straightforward feedback so people can make practical changes.
Marisa meets clients with empathy while also looking closely at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She focuses on building insight and practical tools people can use day to day.
How Marisa works
Sessions are aimed at both understanding patterns and taking steps toward different outcomes. She has five years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication and control problems, and challenges around divorce, separation, and blended family dynamics. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, body image struggles, dissociation, and substance use concerns.
Marisa practices as a Florida LMHC, which is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients at this time. Her work includes short-term problem solving as well as longer-term exploration depending on what a person needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time and session cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Marisa uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on building practical coping skills. One common approach she uses targets thought patterns and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety and stress, helping people notice and shift the thoughts that fuel worry.She also uses skills-based work that centers on emotional regulation and communication. These techniques teach breathing and grounding exercises, emotion management skills, and clearer ways to express needs during tense moments. They are helpful for relationship and intimacy-related struggles, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marisa discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods over time so the work fits the problem and the person. That collaborative process helps decide whether shorter solution-focused work or longer exploration will be most useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter and fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions can fit a commute or a tight schedule and require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or to have shorter, focused exchanges when typing is easier. These options let people fit therapy into real life while working with a licensed professional.
