About Marisa
Marisa DiCamillo offers a calm, straightforward presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. She introduces a gentle, practical way to talk about difficult feelings and relationship struggles. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at making first steps feel manageable.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York, she helps people notice unhelpful patterns and learn simple coping tools. Sessions focus on small changes that add up, like shifting reactions to social anxiety or tending to attachment wounds that affect relationships.
Background and approach
She uses clear language and concrete exercises rather than clinical jargon. Marisa emphasizes building self-love and stronger emotional awareness. That can mean practicing new ways to respond in tense moments, trying short behavioral experiments, or working through beliefs that undermine confidence.
She aims for progress that feels sustainable in everyday life. Her approach is collaborative: clients and therapist decide goals together and track what works. She brings four years of clinical experience to sessions and adapts strategies to each person's needs.
Progress is paced to what each person can manage. Clients who prefer remote options can meet for phone or video sessions, or use messaging between appointments. Marisa frames therapy as practical work toward clearer thinking, steadier moods, and healthier connections.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Many of the evidence-based techniques Marisa uses focus on identifying patterns and building practical skills. One common approach helps people notice and change automatic reactions to anxiety or social situations by practicing small behavioral steps and rehearsal. Another approach centers on improving attachment and self-love through exercises that increase emotional awareness and shift internal messages people tell themselves. These approaches are meant to reduce distress and strengthen day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marisa partners with each person to clarify goals and then tries methods that fit those goals and personal preferences. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the plan so the therapy feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support between-session contact, quick check-ins, or journaling-style reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or family commitments while keeping focus on the skills and insights people want to build.
