Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Marissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people learn concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breath work, activity planning, and problem-solving to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on improving mood and self-esteem by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes that build confidence over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marissa listens to your concerns, goals, and daily routines, then suggests methods that match what matters to you. Together you can try techniques, adjust as needed, and track what feels most helpful.

Online sessions offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives. Video calls let you see and talk with your therapist in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you don’t want to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, quick support between meetings, or a way to reflect without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to keep steady progress while managing work, parenting, or other obligations.
