About Marissa

Marissa Raskin is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with a decade of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She earned undergraduate degrees in Criminal Justice and Psychology from the University at Albany and holds a dual master’s from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Forensic Psychology and Forensic Mental Health Counseling.

Over the past 10 years she has supported people facing a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship and parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and workplace or career stress. Her therapeutic stance is described as warm, empathetic, inclusive, and nonjudgmental.

She favors individualized care and integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help clients build coping skills and clarify goals. Marissa emphasizes respect and sensitivity, avoiding stigmatizing labels, and works collaboratively with each person to shape treatment plans that fit their situation and priorities.

Approaches that guide online sessions and what to expect

Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's perspective and creates space for thoughtful listening and empathy, helping clients explore values and make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that maintain distress and then building practical skills to shift those patterns, which is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and many day-to-day problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs and then propose strategies to try. Adjustments are made along the way so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow people to engage in therapy from varied settings and use the format that best supports their progress while maintaining ongoing contact with a licensed professional.
