About Marissa

Marissa Herrera is an LPC with eight years of counseling experience who works with adults facing a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, parenting challenges, career transitions, and matters related to LGBT identity.

Background and approach

She frames therapy around client-directed work, helping people reconnect with their values and move toward practical change while honoring each person’s autonomy. Her clinical style draws on several evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR for trauma processing, motivational interviewing to support readiness for change, and solution-focused strategies that emphasize small, achievable steps.

Marissa emphasizes helping clients question limiting beliefs, build coping skills, and rediscover strengths so they can manage life transitions and pursue goals. She practices in Georgia and provides services in English as a licensed professional counselor (GA LPC LPC010560).

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build habits that align with those values while reducing the power of unhelpful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering concrete tools for symptom relief and better daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to discuss goals, try methods that suit their needs, and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers several practical advantages: sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care through busy weeks, during transitions, or when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured treatment and supportive coaching from a distance.
