Background and approach
Sessions aim to be a place to talk through painful memories, frustrations, or moments of doubt without judgment. Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors that bring different results.
The work is often hands-on and focused on skills that carry into daily life. In sessions she encourages honest conversation and gradual change. She helps set small goals and tracks progress so people can see improvement.
Her approach balances practical tools with steady support. Teletherapy is offered for Georgia residents during weekday mid-mornings. Marissa asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on her availability.
She aims to make starting therapy as simple as possible.
Practical approaches for online support
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new ideas, and trying small behavioral changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.Her work emphasizes clear, step-by-step strategies. She helps people set realistic goals and practice skills between sessions so progress becomes visible. Choosing the right approach is part of the process and she collaborates with each person to find what fits their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy family lives. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person sessions while phone sessions provide a simpler option when video isn't convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or to use therapy in small, flexible moments. Together these formats support continuity of care and make it easier to attend sessions around work, school, and parenting demands.
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.
