About Marissa
Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people when life feels overwhelming or stuck. She focuses on practical change and listens first, so people can talk about what matters without judgment. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and relationship and family problems.
Marissa also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to adoption, abandonment, attachment, or caregiving strain.
How Marissa works
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. In the first session she asks about strengths, struggles, and goals. Sessions are geared to what each person needs, not a single fixed method.
Marissa draws from several approaches including cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, mindfulness, and client-centered conversation. That mix helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and make choices that match their values. With three years of clinical experience and LCSW licensure in Louisiana, Marissa aims to create a calm, respectful space for change.
She helps people set small, doable steps so progress feels possible. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.
Please confirm current session options before booking to be sure they fit your needs.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or avoidance get in the way of everyday goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and then practicing concrete skills to change them. That approach is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try new ways of connecting and responding in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they choose or combine methods so sessions feel useful and realistic for each person's life.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping work or family interruptions to a minimum. Online care can make it easier to attend shorter check-ins or to meet without commuting. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm which formats are offered before booking so arrangements match your needs.
