About Marisa

Marisa Richardson is a Missouri-licensed LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with more than 25 years of professional experience. She has spent her career supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, trauma, and depression, drawing on a compassionate, respectful approach to care.

She prioritizes sensitivity and tailors conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s distinct needs and goals. Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside emotional support, with an aim to help clients navigate life transitions and rebuild a sense of balance.

Marisa recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and she acknowledges that important first step. She works collaboratively to set priorities and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, so that care remains aligned with what matters most to each individual.

Approaches That Guide Remote Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and creating a supportive environment where the client’s priorities shape the work. It is helpful for people seeking validation, increased self-understanding, and a collaborative space to explore life challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and cultivate calm, which can assist with anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marisa works collaboratively with clients and with licensed professionals when appropriate to determine which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from home or other comfortable settings. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy life, and receive support in formats that feel practical and effective for the individual.
