How Marissa’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and when someone wants more meaning in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and social fear. EMDR addresses distressing memories by pairing guided attention with focused processing to reduce the intensity of those memories. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process shapes whether sessions lean more on ACT, CBT, EMDR, or a combination of methods. Online therapy with Marissa uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video works well for longer sessions and showing nonverbal reactions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, or sharing thoughts between appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules and practical needs.
