About Marisa
Marisa Logsdon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people struggling with stress and anxiety. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, trauma and many other life stresses. Her approach is straightforward and practical.
Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps forward. Marisa uses methods that center the client's experience. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to teach emotion regulation. Sessions are guided by the client’s goals and paced to match what feels manageable. She earned a Master of Arts degree in counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Spring Arbor University.
Marisa holds a counseling license from the state of Michigan and is a member of the Michigan Counseling Association. She has about 12 years of experience in the field. In sessions she aims to create a supportive space where people can answer their own questions and work toward their goals.
That often means talking through immediate problems, building new coping skills, and practicing different ways of relating to others. She describes counseling as a place to try things out and make small, real changes. Outside of work Marisa lives in Michigan with her husband, two young children, and two very active dogs.
She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on helping people manage daily life and move forward.
Approaches and how they fit with online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and adult relationships shape feelings and reactions. It helps when relationship patterns create anxiety, connection worries, or repeated conflicts by focusing on understanding relational needs and responses.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own perspective and goals. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people make choices that match their values and strengths.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes short exercises and strategies that people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that match the issue, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools feel most useful and what to prioritize.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent progress.
