About Marissa
Marissa Myers is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with three years of clinical experience based in Louisiana. She works with adults on issues such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship struggles, and career concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem, ADHD, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. In the first session she invites people to describe strengths, challenges, and what they hope will change. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to respond when frustration or resentment builds. She uses everyday language and helps clients set manageable goals they can try between sessions.
Marissa draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Client-Centered work, and Mindfulness practices. That variety lets her match tools to what a person needs most - for example using skills to notice triggers, shift unhelpful thoughts, or practice new interpersonal patterns.
She pays attention to issues that often sit behind anger, like abandonment, family of origin problems, codependency, and caregiver stress. Sessions can include work on substance use, dissociation, or disruptive mood symptoms when those issues affect daily life.
People meet her when they want practical strategies and clearer thinking about feelings. To start, the site asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting taken over by them, and it focuses on choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT can help with anger by clarifying what matters and building small steps toward those values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete skills for spotting unhelpful thinking that fuels anger and for practicing different responses in tense moments.
Attachment-Based approaches pay attention to how early relationship patterns shape reactions today. This work can reveal why certain interactions trigger strong responses and suggest new ways to connect or set boundaries.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, challenges, and preferences rather than pushing a single model.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, cut travel time, or have a shorter check-in when days are busy. They also allow therapists to use mindfulness exercises, values work, and skills practice without needing an in-person appointment, which can help maintain progress between sessions.
