Online support

How Marissa’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then clarify what matters and take steps toward those values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where someone wants more direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and habits that make problems worse and testing different, more helpful ways of thinking and acting. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is listed among her approaches and is used to address distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms through structured processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when that matters, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy lives and varying comfort levels.
