How Marissa's Approaches Work Online
Marissa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns by breaking issues into small, actionable steps.She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work. This approach looks at interaction patterns and teaches skills for clearer communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust when intimacy or partnership issues are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose strategies that fit those needs. This collaborative planning helps make sessions feel useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
