Marissa helps people untangle patterns that keep them stuck and build new habits that support well-being.
Typical sessions involve exploring recent events, naming feelings, and trying practical tools between meetings. Her aim is to walk alongside clients as they make steady changes and discover more confidence. People who want thoughtful, values-aligned support often find this approach useful.
How evidence-based approaches translate online
Many clients find that short-term evidence-based techniques help them manage symptoms and build skills. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps with worry, social anxiety, and depression by making thoughts more manageable.Another useful approach centers on building emotional awareness and improving communication. It teaches simple steps to name feelings, express needs, and practice conversations differently, which helps with relationship strain and isolation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust as you go. You and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are good for longer conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text messaging can support brief updates, coping plans, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
