About Marissa
Marissa Myers is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people who know something needs to change but aren’t sure how to start. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges around ADHD, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also works with people affected by adoption and foster care and related attachment and abandonment issues.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can show up as they are. Early sessions focus on listening to strengths and challenges and on clarifying what the client wants to change.
Marissa uses practical tools from evidence-informed approaches and adapts them to each person. She might mix skills practice, mindfulness exercises, and values-based work so clients can try what fits their life. Sessions move at a realistic pace with steps that feel doable between meetings.
With three years of clinical experience and an LCSW credential, she brings focused attention to caregiving strain, attachment concerns, codependency, and recovery from substance use. She also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, and the aftermath of disasters.
People who choose her work with a therapist who listens first, then builds a plan together. The emphasis is on real change through clear goals, steady support, and techniques that match a person's needs and daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It uses practical exercises to build willingness to face difficult thoughts and to act toward chosen goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviors to change mood and stress. It often includes short homework tasks and clear, skills-based practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections influence current reactions and trust. This approach can be useful for attachment and abandonment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be collaborative. The therapist will listen to your needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest steps to try. Over time the plan can shift based on what helps you make progress and what feels manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in their normal routines and schedule meetings around work or caregiving demands. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for timing and length of sessions.
