About Marissa
Marissa Myers is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people when life feels stuck or overwhelming. She meets clients with calm attention and wants to know what matters to them. Marissa aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk honestly and start making changes that feel right for them.
She begins by asking about strengths, struggles, and what the client hopes will be different.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - Marissa listens first, then works with each person to set clear, doable goals. She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method so the plan fits the person instead of forcing the person to fit the plan.
Common issues Marissa supports include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy questions, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and career or life transitions. She also helps people facing family of origin issues, attachment struggles, caregiving stress, and problems like codependency or commitment worries.
Her clinical toolbox includes Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based ideas, client-centered ways of working, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Marissa adapts these methods to match each client's needs and pace, focusing on practical next steps that can be tried between sessions. With three years of experience as an LCSW, she offers steady, compassionate support and an emphasis on collaboration.
To begin, clients answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

Online session options
How narrative and ACT work online
Marissa commonly draws from Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and try out new, more helpful ways of understanding their experiences. ACT focuses on values and small actions - it helps people accept difficult feelings and take steps toward what matters to them.She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to help people feel heard and to form a clear plan. Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. Marissa will work with each person to pick or blend methods that match their goals, preferences, and what they want to change.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, enable shorter check-ins during a break, or allow conversations from a quieter spot. Licensed professionals can adapt narrative and ACT practices to an online setting and focus on practical exercises and steps to try between meetings.
