Marissa Cox, LCSW

Marissa Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, ADHD symptoms, relationship strain, career questions, and life changes. She offers straightforward support and practical tools for coping and moving forward. Her approach feels warm and interactive so conversations are focused and respectful.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thought patterns and try small behavior changes. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused so progress is practical and measurable. Marissa tailors plans to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Marissa brings seven years of therapy experience and a longer background in mental and behavioral health before licensure. That experience shapes how she blends coaching-style feedback with therapy skills to address day-to-day problems. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and respect.

In sessions she listens, offers reflections, and suggests concrete strategies to test between meetings. That can include short experiments, communication practice, and tools to manage overwhelming thoughts. She emphasizes small steps that build confidence over time.

People who choose Marissa can expect a supportive, interactive space to work through priorities. She encourages clients ready to try change and provides steady guidance while they practice new ways of coping.

CBT-informed care delivered online

Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short experiments that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better coping with everyday stressors.

Her sessions are collaborative. She will work with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and needs rather than prescribing a fixed path. Together they decide which strategies to try and how to measure progress over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit short conversations into a busy day or to follow up between longer sessions. These options help make regular care more flexible and easier to maintain while working on specific goals.
