About Marisa

Marisa Logsdon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and trauma. She draws on a broad set of tools to address sleep and eating difficulties, anger and self-esteem worries, and life transitions such as career changes or coping with illness.

Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people find workable next steps. Marisa earned a Master of Arts degree in counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Spring Arbor University.

Background and approach

She holds a counseling license in Michigan with license number MI LPC 6401012540 and is a member of the Michigan Counseling Association. She is also nationally certified and listed as a Registered Social Service Technician. Sessions focus on helping people answer their own questions and address their feelings.

Marisa aims to provide a supportive atmosphere where concerns get named and realistic goals are set. Conversations are collaborative and goal-driven, with attention to skills that can be used between sessions. Her training includes work with anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief and loss, parenting, school issues, domestic violence, suicide prevention, and stress management.

That background informs how she tailors strategies to each person’s situation. Outside of work she lives in Michigan with her husband, two young children, and two active dogs. She describes counseling simply: life is hard, and counseling can help.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It often focuses on patterns in close connections and can be useful for those noticing trust, bonding, or attachment concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and supports people as they find their own answers and build confidence to make changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. This collaboration helps shape the session focus and the skills practiced between meetings.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, review materials between sessions, or check in when a quick conversation is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to suit different communication styles and practical needs.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
