Background and approach

She has twelve years of experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. Her practice is based in Texas and she offers sessions in English. People often come for help with abandonment wounds, caregiver stress, forgiving themselves, or navigating financial strain.

Sessions aim to strengthen self-love and resilience. Work might include skill-building for social anxiety, processing grief, or mapping out achievable goals for work and relationships. The tone is respectful and affirming, with attention to a client’s values and identity.

Dr. Marasse encourages collaboration. Together with each person she clarifies goals, tracks progress, and adjusts strategies as needed.

This makes the process feel manageable for people juggling busy lives and complicated emotions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Two evidence-based approaches often used in this practice include trauma-informed strategies and skills-based coaching. Trauma-informed work focuses on recognizing how past hurt shows up today and uses paced, steady steps to reduce overwhelm; it helps people who struggle with abuse, abandonment, or ongoing trauma reactions. Skills-based coaching emphasizes specific tools for daily life, such as anxiety management techniques, planning for career transitions, or building routines that support self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. Clients help set priorities so sessions stay relevant to their current needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
