How Marissa works
She encourages practical steps that fit into everyday life rather than abstract theory. With 22 years of experience, Marissa has worked with a wide range of concerns. Her background includes helping clients sort through attachment and abandonment worries, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and issues that stem from family of origin.
She also addresses forgiveness, guilt, shame, infidelity, jealousy, and feelings of isolation. Marissa often applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify patterns in thinking and acting that keep problems going. She focuses on skills people can practice between sessions to build momentum and see real change.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with clear steps toward measurable progress. Teletherapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Marissa works with Georgia residents and communicates in English.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Online support options
How CBT and online sessions fit your life
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, testing those ideas in real situations, and building new habits that reduce anxiety, low mood, and relationship strain. It is practical and focused on clear steps people can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marissa will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques based on what is helpful and what feels doable, so treatment stays relevant and realistic.
Online therapy lets people fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in during a break, and text-based messaging enables short, ongoing support. These options give flexibility for different routines and comfort levels, while keeping the focus on practical progress and skill building.
