About Marissa
Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with three years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, codependency, and substance concerns. She also supports people facing grief, identity questions, career stress, and caregiving strain.
Marissa uses a straightforward, collaborative style. In the first session she asks about strengths, challenges, and what someone wants to change. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than vague promises. She listens and works with each person to decide what to try next.
Her work draws on several established approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based thinking, and client-centered conversation. That mix lets her balance short-term tools with attention to relationship patterns and values. People can expect a blend of skill-building, reflective discussion, and experiments to try between sessions.
Marissa emphasizes small, doable changes that fit into everyday life. She talks through ways to set boundaries, manage intense feelings, reduce people-pleasing, and cope with overwhelming situations. When addiction or mood issues are present she focuses on practical steps and motivation for change.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. She works in English and sees clients within Louisiana.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action, and can help when people feel stuck or avoidant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people notice and shift those interaction habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort. That collaborative planning can include trying a different technique if something isn’t helping.
Confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and apply them to everyday situations.
