About Marissa
Marissa Clement is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, addiction, and life changes. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs, with straightforward help for practical problems.
She uses a mix of approaches to meet different concerns. That can include attachment work to look at important relationships, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness or emotion-regulation skills to steady intense feelings.
Background and approach
Jungian ideas may be used for clients who want deeper exploration of meaning and patterns. Marissa brings eight years of clinical experience to the work. She listens closely and helps people identify small, manageable steps they can take between sessions.
The focus is on building resilience, improving coping, and reducing symptoms that interfere with daily life. Clients commonly bring anxiety, social anxiety, relationship friction, challenges with substance use, or questions about purpose and self-worth. She also supports people dealing with bipolar mood patterns, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue from caregiving or demanding jobs.
Therapy combines practical skills with reflective conversation. Sessions may include problem-solving, behavioral experiments, grounding practices, and discussion of personal history when it helps. The aim is clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and life changes
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional safety. It can help people notice patterns in close relationships and learn different ways to connect or set boundaries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a hands-on approach that targets thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going. It uses exercises and experiments to test thinking, change unhelpful habits, and build coping skills for day-to-day life.
Marissa treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick methods and adjust them over time so sessions match changing needs.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins or moments of support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules and to maintain consistent contact during busy periods.
