Practical approaches for online care and skill building
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through concrete strategies and practice. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress because it emphasizes skill-building and measurable steps toward goals.She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness techniques support emotional regulation and can complement other methods by helping clients notice patterns with less judgment. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work as a way to strengthen personal motivation and clarify what someone wants to change; it supports readiness and gently explores ambivalence.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marissa works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and adjusts strategies based on what is most helpful in session.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to stay consistent with sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain momentum toward therapeutic goals while accommodating different communication styles and routines.
