About Marissa
Marissa Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. She listens with respect and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Her approach is meant to feel supportive and down-to-earth for someone starting therapy for the first time.
Marissa uses a mix of talking and hands-on strategies to address everyday problems and bigger life shifts. She helps people build skills to manage strong emotions like anger, cope with loss, and work through relationship and intimacy issues.
Background and approach
Sessions can include short exercises, goal-setting, and checking how new habits are working in daily life. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to stay focused on each person’s concerns and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her work when looking at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Solution-Focused ideas are used to set clear, achievable goals and track progress session by session. Marissa has three years of professional experience in counseling and practices in Texas. She tailors conversations and plans to the unique needs of each person.
That can mean changing the focus as problems shift or trying new small steps until something feels useful. People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including addictions, grief, parenting stress, first responder issues, gender dysphoria, hospice and end-of-life support, and non-monogamous relationship questions. Her style is practical, compassionate, and collaborative.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following each person's lead to build trust and clarity. Online sessions use this approach to make sure the conversation stays focused on what matters most to the client and moves at a comfortable pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. In remote sessions, CBT often includes short between-session tasks and practical exercises to try at home and then review by video or text.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. That collaboration guides whether more CBT, solution-focused steps, or client-centered listening takes priority.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send brief updates or work through thoughts in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
