Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood and then developing practical strategies to change those patterns. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing symptoms related to everyday challenges.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and awareness skills that help people relate differently to worry, distraction, and emotional reactivity. Practices are brief and adaptable, making them useful for stress reduction and improving concentration.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change. It complements other techniques when someone is working toward new habits or addressing life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marissa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time to align with the client’s progress and comfort level.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so care can fit into busy schedules and different lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity, access support from familiar environments, and choose the format that feels most manageable for each session.
