About Marissa
Marissa Geraci is a licensed mental health counselor who works with people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
She draws on her clinical training and nine years of professional experience to tailor conversations and care to each person’s situation, meeting clients where they are and helping them build practical skills to manage daily challenges. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with warmth and respect.
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping strategies, and she integrates principles from the Gottman Method when addressing relationship concerns. She aims to adapt session structure and treatment plans to address issues such as trauma and abuse, parenting and intimacy-related problems, career stress, and life transitions.
Clients can expect collaborative work focused on clear goals, skill building, and gradual progress toward greater self-understanding and resilience. Marissa emphasizes sensitivity and compassion throughout the therapeutic process and encourages people to take the first step toward change when they feel ready.
Practical approaches for online therapy and relationship work
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, stress, and other daily difficulties. She also draws on the Gottman Method to guide work on communication, conflict management, and strengthening connection in relationships when those areas are a focus.Finding the right approach is collaborative; Marissa works with each person to clarify goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful. She emphasizes shared decision making so that techniques and session structure align with the client’s needs, values, and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
