About Marissa

Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to make everyday life a little easier. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel more in control and connected to what matters to them.

She creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what’s going on. Sessions begin with an invitation to share strengths, concerns, and goals. That information guides a plan that is realistic and personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.

Marissa uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to focus on relationships and emotional safety. Mindfulness practices are offered when they fit the person’s goals and comfort level.

Therapy with Marissa emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then suggests strategies to manage strong feelings, build healthier habits, and improve communication. Progress is tracked in small, doable steps so changes feel achievable.

With three years of experience as an LCSW practicing in Louisiana, she blends practical tools and attentive listening. People who want to address anger, trauma, addiction, ADHD, or identity and relationship concerns may find this approach helpful. If you think this might fit, the next step is a short questionnaire to match you and schedule an initial session.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying practical experiments to change them. It often helps with stress, mood changes, and managing strong reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and works on building healthier ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining strategies from different approaches or adjusting practices over time based on what helps most.

Confirm available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting down on travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or reducing the need to be on camera for those who prefer audio. Licensed professionals can use online work to share tools, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress in ways that fit everyday routines.
