Marissa Clement , LMHC - Therapist in New York

About Marissa

Marissa Clement is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people through anxiety, depression, addiction, and self-esteem struggles. She works with women who want practical tools and steady support. Sessions aim to build coping skills and clearer self-understanding so clients can feel more grounded in daily life.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then offers techniques drawn from different therapies that fit each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Common goals include managing stress, reducing panic, improving body image, and recovering from substance use. Marissa blends evidence-informed strategies with depth work. That means using skills-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-aware and Jungian perspectives to look at patterns and meaning.

She also draws on dialectical behavior skills when emotional regulation is a main concern. Across sessions she teaches practical tools - breathing and grounding practices, thought-challenging exercises, and boundary-setting strategies. She also helps clients notice relationship patterns and the values that matter most to them.

This combination supports short-term relief and longer-term growth. Marissa has eight years of clinical experience in New York as an LMHC. Clients usually find the pace is tailored to them, with an emphasis on building resilience and clear next steps between appointments.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes the way early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like mapping relationship habits and trying small changes to feel safer in connections, which can help with intimacy-related and family concerns.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflecting feelings and priorities so people gain clarity and self-trust. This approach is useful for building self-esteem and exploring life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Clients learn thought-challenging exercises and behavioral plans to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Marissa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She often mixes strategies and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can feel simpler for some people. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between appointments or use shorter touchpoints when needed. These options make scheduling easier and let people continue care from home or while traveling, keeping therapy flexible and accessible.

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.
