Therapeutic Approaches and Online Counseling

Marisa uses approaches that emphasize understanding relationships, personal meaning, and practical coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and safety; it can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client leads the pace and direction of change; this approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and exploring personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Marisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these models to match what a client brings to sessions and to support practical progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling, accessibility for those balancing work or caregiving responsibilities, and multiple ways to communicate depending on comfort and need. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular sessions and to integrate therapeutic work into a busy life.
