About Marissa
Marissa Boscia-Wittekind is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting stresses, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career transition, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses related areas like attachment struggles, body image, codependency, and young adult issues.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions begin with an emphasis on building rapport and identifying clear goals. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and asks for straightforward honesty to make progress together.
Marissa draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside strength-based techniques such as emotional regulation and relaxation tools. That mix lets her shift between talking through a problem, testing small behavioral changes, and setting short-term, manageable goals.
Typical early sessions cover history, current struggles, and what the client hopes to change. Later work often focuses on recognizing patterns, practicing alternative responses, and applying coping tools between meetings. She emphasizes practical steps that can reduce reactivity, manage cravings, or ease workplace and parenting pressures.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented rather than theoretical. People who want clear tools and regular check-ins about progress may find this style useful. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to map out next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can clarify what matters most. It helps when someone needs to talk through how anger shows up and what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It supports practical steps like noticing early signs of irritability, testing different responses, and practicing new behaviors between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and what works already. It is useful for people who want concrete short-term changes to reduce snapping at others or manage workplace frustration.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and as new challenges appear.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow brief check-ins during a work break, or reduce travel time. They also let the therapist assign short between-session exercises such as behavioral experiments or relaxation practice that fit into everyday life.
