Marissa Myers, LCSW - Therapist in Louisiana

About Marissa

Marissa Myers, LCSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes. She supports those coping with trauma, addiction, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. Marissa aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can begin to make small, practical changes.

She works in a collaborative way. In the first session she asks about strengths, difficulties, and what the client hopes will change.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and steps that fit a client's life. Marissa uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address unhelpful thinking and build daily habits. Attachment-based ideas guide work around close relationships and family of origin issues.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to help people tolerate hard feelings while committing to meaningful actions. Client-centered principles keep the client's voice central in planning and pacing the work. Marissa brings three years of clinical experience as a licensed clinical social worker across Louisiana.

She emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional understanding. Parents and caregivers often seek her help for communication, boundary setting, and caregiver stress. People looking for help with addiction, ADHD, trauma, or codependency will find a straightforward approach that combines empathy with concrete tools.

Marissa aims to help clients feel more steady and more in control of the next steps in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behavior through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will invite input about what feels helpful and adjust methods to match each person's goals and pace. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape what happens in sessions.

The original biography does not list the specific online session formats Marissa uses, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit more easily into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it easier to continue regular work on skills such as mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
