About Marissa

Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. She meets clients with warmth and without judgment, and she focuses on practical steps that feel doable. Her style centers on listening first and tailoring the work to each person's needs.

Marissa takes a collaborative approach in sessions. She asks about strengths, struggles, and what a better day would look like. From there she and the client build small, manageable goals and track progress together. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer choices and skills they can use between meetings.

Her work draws on several approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and attachment-informed methods. These tools are used to address concerns like addiction, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping after loss or disruptive events. She also supports people facing caregiving stress, codependency, and challenges tied to family of origin.

Marissa has three years of clinical experience and holds licenses in Louisiana and Virginia as an LCSW. She offers therapy in English and partners with clients to match treatment to goals. For people dealing with the fallout of natural or human-caused disaster, she focuses on stabilizing immediate needs and building skills to move forward.

To begin, she invites an open conversation about what matters most to you. Together you can choose a pace and plan that aligns with your life and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior. It teaches values-based actions so clients can move toward what matters despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns people carry from early connections and helps them try new ways of relating that feel safer and more dependable.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan so the work fits your needs and pace.

Confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, offering shorter check-in meetings when needed, or accommodating scheduling around work or caregiving. Many people find that doing therapy from their usual environment helps them practice skills in real time, and a therapist can suggest exercises to use between sessions.
