About Marissa
Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship concerns. She supports people facing trauma, addiction, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and big life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk honestly about what they are experiencing.
Marissa takes a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. In the first session she asks about strengths, challenges, and goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps that feel doable week to week, not on one-size-fits-all solutions. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and act in line with their values. Attachment-based ideas are part of the work when relationships and family history matter.
Marissa centers the person in front of her and adjusts strategies to fit that person’s needs. She listens carefully, offers feedback, and helps clients build small routines and new ways of coping. This can include support for anger, impulse control, and communication skills.
With three years of clinical practice as an LCSW, she blends practical skill-building with empathic listening. People who want straightforward, respectful therapy that emphasizes real-world change may find her style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, anger, and making life changes when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or problematic coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with anger and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marissa treats this as a team effort and will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something is not working.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let clients use mindfulness exercises or worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals tailor sessions so therapy fits into everyday life while focusing on skills that support change.
