Background and approach
Conversations normally focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between sessions. Her approach mixes practical tools with relational work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
The Gottman Method provides a framework for understanding patterns in close relationships and improving communication. Marissa often helps people who are dealing with grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, or issues around intimacy and trust. She also supports people navigating identity, self-worth, and career transitions.
Sessions are adapted to each person’s pace and priorities. Clients can expect a respectful, down-to-earth style. Marissa values sensitivity and openness and will tailor conversations and plans to a person’s unique needs.
She encourages small steps and celebrates progress along the way.
How CBT and Gottman Tools Work Online
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different actions. CBT sessions often include short exercises and practical homework to practice new habits between meetings. The Gottman Method focuses on communication and interaction patterns in close relationships, offering concrete skills to reduce conflict and rebuild trust. These methods can be adapted to individual or relationship concerns during online work.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Marissa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together which techniques to use. That collaboration helps shape a plan that fits the client’s life and what they want to change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video allows for a conversational, face-to-face feel. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need asynchronous support between sessions. These options help make regular therapy easier to fit into busy schedules.
