Marissa Clement , LMHC

Marissa Clement is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on practical therapy that helps people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, and self‑esteem concerns. She uses clear, straightforward techniques so clients can notice change in daily life. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she aims to make sessions feel like a steady place to sort things out.

Marissa emphasizes cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to build trusting therapeutic relationships. These approaches are mixed to match each person's needs rather than used in a fixed order.

People come to her for common but painful problems - stress, relationship and intimacy questions, career strain, and coping with life changes. She also supports those facing addiction, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, body image struggles, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and pacing change to fit real life.

With eight years of clinical work in New York, Marissa combines experience with simple tools clients can try between sessions. She encourages homework that feels doable and progress that can be measured week to week. The goal is steady forward movement rather than quick fixes.

Her approach includes talking through patterns, practicing new coping skills, and reflecting on deeper personal themes when helpful. People who prefer a collaborative, skill‑based path tend to find this approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online care

Marissa frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. This method helps with anxiety, low mood, and problematic patterns like avoidance or harmful habits. Attachment‑based therapy is also part of her work and looks at how past relationships shape current patterns, which can help with intimacy and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to match techniques to each person’s goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist review what helps and adjust the plan over time, combining skills practice with reflective conversation when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text‑based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let clients use visual cues and more in‑depth conversation. Phone sessions can be shorter check‑ins or an option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support quick check‑ins, homework prompts, and ongoing skill reinforcement between longer sessions.
