About Marissa
Marissa Tcharie is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with people who are trying to rebuild self-esteem, handle trauma or abuse, and cope with social anxiety or isolation. Marissa focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable.
Sessions often include talking about communication problems, sorting through guilt and shame, and noticing patterns that get in the way of self-love.
How Marissa works
She brings a values-informed perspective to conversations about life purpose and forgiveness. Her style is supportive and direct. She aims to help people see their strengths and take small, achievable steps forward.
That can look like practicing new ways to set boundaries, shifting negative self-talk, or trying different ways to connect with others. Marissa has five years of experience working with adults in New York as an LCSW, which stands for licensed clinical social worker. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs.
The work is collaborative - clients help set goals and decide what feels most useful. People who choose her often want clear, practical guidance and a steady presence while they make changes. Marissa helps clients notice progress, even when it feels slow, and build routines that support emotional well-being.

Approaches and online options that fit your life
Marissa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and emotional processing. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach centers on building communication skills and repairing relationship patterns through clear, practical exercises that can be tried between sessions.Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. Goals are revisited often so the plan can change if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, quick coping strategies, or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while still working toward meaningful change.
