Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear conversation about what’s happening now and practical ways to cope. Clients can expect direct, compassionate listening and steps they can try between meetings. Marissa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going.
She works with people on attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stress, caregiver burnout, and challenges after divorce or separation. Issues like guilt, shame, infidelity, loneliness, and life-purpose questions are also part of her scope. Her approach centers on collaboration and realistic goal-setting.
She helps people break big problems into smaller, manageable tasks and tracks progress over time. That practical focus aims to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. Teletherapy hours are set for Georgia residents on weekdays, and Marissa supports people through video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
She encourages those who feel stuck to take a small step toward change and explore whether her style fits their needs.
How CBT and Online Sessions Work Together
Marissa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and the actions that follow. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem because it focuses on specific thinking patterns and small practical exercises.Her practice pairs that work with straightforward conversations to set goals and try targeted strategies between meetings. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - she will discuss options, listen to your preferences, and adjust methods based on your needs and progress.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care fit real life. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in during a break. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief reflections, or when writing out thoughts feels more comfortable.
These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and stay connected to a licensed professional even when schedules are busy.
