About Marisa
Marisa Levin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She meets individuals dealing with anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship struggles, intimacy concerns, and low self-esteem.

She begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person. That helps her tailor sessions so they focus on real-life problems and workable steps.
Background and approach
Conversations move from understanding patterns to trying tools that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Marisa brings five years of clinical experience in Florida to her practice. She has worked with people coping with attachment and abandonment issues, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and substance use challenges.
She also supports people facing communication problems, codependency, and the fallout of separation or divorce. Sessions emphasize building insight and practicing new skills. Marisa checks in about progress and adjusts plans as goals shift.
The work is collaborative, with a mix of gentle challenge and practical homework to try between meetings. People who choose her often want direct feedback alongside empathy. She focuses on helping clients break unhelpful patterns and develop tools they can use day to day.
Therapy with her aims to be clear, manageable, and focused on steady progress.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Marisa uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on building practical coping skills. Cognitive approaches concentrate on identifying and shifting thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood, helping people test and change beliefs that get in the way of everyday functioning. Behavioral and skills-based work emphasizes practicing new responses, emotion regulation, and communication strategies that reduce avoidance and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what matters most to the client, try methods that match their goals, and adjust strategies based on what proves helpful. Clients and therapist decide together which exercises and tools to use between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or brief therapeutic tasks. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into a busy life and to continue momentum between meetings.
