About Marissa
Marissa Clement is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She uses a warm, supportive style to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Marissa focuses on building self-esteem and helping clients cope with life changes and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
Her approach blends attachment-based work and client-centered methods. That means sessions often begin by listening carefully to what matters most to the client and then exploring how early connections influence present relationships.
How Marissa works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to surface unhelpful thinking patterns and test practical changes in behavior. Marissa also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when people feel overwhelmed. Jungian perspectives are sometimes woven in to look at personal meaning and life purpose.
She tailors these methods to match each person’s needs and goals. Over eight years of practice, Marissa has supported people facing ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. She also works with issues like body image, drug and alcohol addiction, social anxiety, and women’s issues.
Sessions aim to clarify goals, develop coping skills, and strengthen resilience. Therapy is framed as a collaborative process. Marissa guides conversations, offers practical tools, and encourages self-reflection.
The focus is on small, achievable steps that lead to steadier mood and clearer direction.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional needs and patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people notice how they connect with others and practice new ways of relating when relationships feel stuck.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and experience. In sessions the therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions for issues like self-esteem and life purpose.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Through online work clients learn to spot unhelpful thinking, try small behavioral changes, and track results to reduce anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marissa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress and new concerns appear.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging can help maintain continuity between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while keeping focus on consistent progress.
