About Marissa
Marissa Clement is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people through hard times. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, addiction, and life changes. Her style is calm and straightforward, aiming to make sessions feel manageable and useful right away.
Marissa blends several approaches to meet individual needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and closeness feel strained. Mindfulness and Jungian concepts are available for clients who want to explore meaning and inner patterns. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented.
She listens first, then works with each person to set clear, realistic steps. The work can include skill practice, thought reframing, tracking mood patterns, and tying changes to daily routines. Marissa has eight years of clinical experience and brings that background to practical problem solving.
She also addresses issues such as body image, social anxiety, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and intimacy-related struggles. This range lets her tailor plans to what matters most for each person. Therapy can fit into busy lives through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits. The focus is on steady progress and concrete steps toward feeling more capable and balanced.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Marissa uses cognitive behavioral work to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. CBT sessions often focus on clear steps and homework that can be practiced between meetings, which works well in an online format. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early connection styles affect present feelings; it helps when someone wants to change how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide which methods to prioritize, and they adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work for quick check-ins, skill practice, or brief supports between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
