About Marisa

Marisa Logsdon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and other life changes.

Background and approach

With 12 years of counseling experience, she brings a practical, client-focused attitude that emphasizes collaboration and skill building to help clients navigate both everyday pressures and complex life events. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered methods, and she also draws on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and existential perspectives when appropriate.

Marisa aims to create a supportive atmosphere where clients can explore feelings, clarify goals, and develop tools to manage symptoms and improve relationships. She holds a Master of Arts in counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Spring Arbor University, is licensed in Michigan (MI LPC 6401012540), and maintains professional affiliation with the Michigan Counseling Association.

Outside of practice she lives in Michigan with her husband, two young children, and two active dogs, and she applies a warm, straightforward style that emphasizes practicality, empathy, and working toward the outcomes each client values.

Online approaches that combine skills and connection

Marisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more adaptive behaviors; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress management. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship dynamics, attachment styles, and how early relational experiences influence current connections and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That exploration may lead to a focused CBT plan, a relationally oriented attachment framework, or a mix of techniques tailored to each person's needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling around work and family life. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care across different settings and can make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while fitting therapy into a busy routine.
