Marissa is an amazing therapist, extremely helpful as someone who wants real solutions and coping skills rather than just a listening ear, although she's great at just listening as well. She's also been extremely accommodating with my busy schedule, I couldn't ask for a better therapist!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

The best therapist I’ve ever had! She truly understands and empathizes in a way that works well for me. Highly recommend!
Marissa is the best therapist I’ve ever had! She always makes me feel heard & validated. I, myself, am a therapist & I feel I have a lot to learn from Marissa. She’s great at what she does & genuinely seems to care!
My therapist validated me and checks in on le often!
I’ve only had a few sessions. But, she has been so great at fully hearing me and offering several ways to help me through my struggles. She responds to messages in a timely manner and she encourages me to reach out at any time.
She’s amazing
Marissa is truly so kind, asks the right questions, checks in frequently, and has just been all around wonderful during such a trying time in my life.
Your doing a great job thank you
Marissa has been great! She connected on me and my past and my marriage better than I imagined! And she connected with me spiritually which was awesome!
We only recently connected, but I am very encouraged and hopeful!
One of the more thoughtful and insightful therapists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Marissa helps offer perspective and new approaches to help me better understand myself. I’m very thankful I was matched with her.
