Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-based ideas are brought in to understand close relationships and how early patterns affect present life. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Marisa aims to create a calm space to talk through current problems and try small, doable changes. She helps people set clear goals and tracks progress week to week. Marisa earned a Master of Arts in counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Spring Arbor University.
She holds a counseling license from the state of Michigan and is a member of the Michigan Counseling Association. With 12 years of experience, she draws on work across many concerns including trauma, eating and body image issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care topics, and compassion fatigue.
Marisa lives in Michigan with her husband, two young children, and two active dogs.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how close relationships shape current feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help identify patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's needs and choices, offering a supportive space to talk and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful together. That collaborative process guides whether more CBT exercises, attachment-focused reflection, or a client-centered check-in will be used over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, coping prompts, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
