About Marisa
Marisa Logsdon is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and addiction. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, sleep or eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Marisa brings 12 years of counseling experience to her work in Michigan and uses straightforward, practical guidance in sessions.
She works in a warm, supportive way and encourages clients to find answers that fit their lives.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings. Marisa draws on several therapeutic approaches to match methods to each person's needs rather than using a single formula. Marisa earned a Master of Arts in counseling and a bachelor's degree in psychology from Spring Arbor University.
She holds a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor credential and is affiliated with the Michigan Counseling Association. Her background includes training in anxiety, grief and loss, parenting concerns, stress management, and related areas. In conversation she asks direct questions, listens closely, and offers simple tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping.
That can include practice exercises, communication skills, or thought-tracking techniques tailored to the person's situation. Outside of work she lives in Michigan with her husband, two young children, and two active dogs. Her style is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make steady progress on the problems that brought them to counseling.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds affect current trust and communication and can help people who struggle with closeness or fear of abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marisa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She may try one approach first or blend techniques over time so the plan fits real life and evolving needs.
Online therapy makes those options easier to access. Video calls let people meet face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions fit quick check-ins or lower-bandwidth needs. Live chat and text-based messaging can work for brief updates, skill reminders, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles.
