Online support options
Online approaches that focus on skills and relationships
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.She also draws on the Gottman Method for work around relationships, using structured conversations and exercises to improve communication, manage conflict, and rebuild trust after breaches like infidelity. These techniques can help people who want clearer ways to address relationship patterns and intimacy-related issues.
Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. Marissa will discuss your goals and preferences, try strategies in-session, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Therapy is a collaboration where methods are tested and refined over time.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler check-in or fit a busy day, and chat or messaging is handy for brief updates or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with work, family, and other commitments.
