Background and approach
She works with people who are seeking practical tools for managing emotional challenges and building self-esteem, blending goal-oriented techniques with compassionate support to help clients identify barriers and move toward clearer purpose and improved well-being.
Her method combines cognitive behavioral ideas with a client-centered stance, focusing on how thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors interact while honoring each person’s values and experience.

She brings clinical experience from both counseling and broader clinical settings and integrates empowerment and self-compassion into treatment to foster lasting change.
Online approaches that balance skill-building and empathy
Marissa uses evidence-informed methods that translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting clients to discover their own solutions and build self-compassion. Solution-Focused Therapy targets practical steps and short-term goals, helping clients make meaningful changes by concentrating on strengths and next steps.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss current concerns, goals, and preferences with each client to determine which combination of strategies feels most helpful, and will adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to attend regularly, maintain momentum between meetings, and fit therapy into a busy schedule while working with a licensed professional from Louisiana.
