About Marissa

Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, ADHD, and related life changes. She also addresses issues such as grief, career strain, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.

Marissa begins by listening. In an initial session she asks about strengths, challenges, and what the person wants to change. She keeps the conversation plain and practical, focusing on small, doable steps rather than big, vague goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, attachment-based work, and a client-centered stance. That means sessions mix practical skills with attention to relationships and internal patterns. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new ways of responding, and clarify what matters most to them.

When complex issues like trauma, addiction, or family-of-origin problems come up, she combines concrete coping skills with longer-term work on patterns that keep repeating. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or control issues.

Marissa frames progress as steady practice. She helps clients set realistic steps, track small wins, and adjust plans when life changes. People who want straightforward, practical support for anger, mood, or relationship strain may find this approach useful.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It can help with anger that keeps arising around the same triggers and with motivation to change habits.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thought patterns that fuel strong reactions and then teaches concrete strategies to shift those patterns. It is useful for work-related frustration, recurring resentment, and mood symptoms.

Mindfulness practices support noticing internal experience without immediately reacting, which is helpful for people who snap or feel overwhelmed by emotion. Attachment-based ideas guide attention to how early relationship patterns show up in close connections today.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm the available online session types before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, practice new responses, and support steady progress in everyday life.
