About Marissa

Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with three years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and family of origin issues. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems.

She begins by asking about what brings someone in and what they want to change. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than vague goals. Marissa listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns that come from their family of origin or earlier relationships.

Her approach mixes several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult feelings while taking action that aligns with personal values. Attachment-Based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections.

Marissa uses mindfulness practices and client-centered techniques to keep sessions grounded and practical. She works collaboratively to build a plan that fits each person’s life and constraints. Progress is tracked through concrete steps and regular check-ins.

To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and Marissa is not accepting international clients.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current interactions and can help with intimacy and family of origin issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed together.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the day, or letting someone join from a location with fewer distractions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work well over remote sessions, while keeping the focus on practical change and improved daily functioning.
