About Marissa
Marissa Torres is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses practical therapy methods to help people move past stuck patterns. She focuses on clear goals and steady steps rather than long, vague analysis. Her work often centers on managing stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship challenges.
She offers a collaborative style and meets people where they are. Sessions focus on actions that can be tried between meetings. That can mean learning new ways to handle strong feelings, changing unhelpful thinking, or practicing different ways to talk with others.
Background and approach
With 12 years of experience, she draws on several evidence-based approaches. Those include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused ways of improving connections. She also uses EMDR and narrative tools when they fit the situation.
Marissa works with a wide range of concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and career stresses. She also helps people dealing with parenting challenges, intimacy-related problems, and eating issues. Communication problems and social anxiety are additional focus areas.
Therapy sessions are conversation-based and goal-oriented. People typically leave with clearer choices and practical skills they can use at home and at work. The overall aim is to help someone feel more present, engaged, and able to handle life’s demands.
Marissa conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. She combines warmth with straightforward guidance so people can make real changes without getting lost in jargon.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It helps people commit to actions that match their values even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches simple skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and shift emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict.Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there she recommends which methods to try and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let conversations feel like an in-person visit when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick ways to touch base or practice skills between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and day-to-day demands.
