About
About Marissa
Marissa Raskin is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She combines practical skills with straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and anger. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, career problems, grief, and other life transitions.
She trained in forensic psychology and forensic mental health counseling, and has worked with people who have experienced trauma or who have been involved with the criminal justice system. That background informs a direct, clear style in sessions. Marissa draws on several therapy approaches rather than a single method.
In practice she uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also offers cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are used to help ground attention in the moment and reduce reactivity.
Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people want to change habits such as substance use or smoking and vaping. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented while respecting each person's pace. Marissa works with issues like ADHD, bipolar concerns, intimacy, and women's issues alongside the list above.
She offers care in English from her New York practice. Her approach focuses on clear goals, concrete techniques, and steady collaboration so clients can manage strong emotions and make day-to-day changes.
If you want straightforward support for anger, stress, or related struggles, she guides conversations toward useful next steps and realistic tools.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Marissa routinely uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness therapy in her work. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives practical exercises to test different ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices that help reduce reactivity and bring awareness to strong emotions so they are easier to manage.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each client to choose which techniques to try first based on goals, the pattern of anger or stress, and personal preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy life, allow shorter follow-ups when useful, and remove commute time that often blocks scheduling. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in the settings where they actually come up, such as during a break at work or at home after an upsetting conversation.
