About Marisa

Marisa Colon is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She emphasizes creating a welcoming space where clients can explore difficult emotions and develop clearer coping strategies.

Background and approach

With three years of clinical practice, Marisa guides clients through practical steps to build motivation, confidence, and healthier emotional responses while acknowledging the bravery it takes to begin therapy. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered care and motivational interviewing techniques.

These tools support clients who are working through communication challenges, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, multicultural concerns, postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm thoughts, self-love, and issues common to young adults. Marisa aims to partner with each person to set goals and tailor strategies that fit their life and values.

Approaches for Online Emotional Care



Marisa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress; it offers practical tools clients can apply between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients feel heard and can explore emotions at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Marisa treats this as a collaborative process. She will work with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then tailor techniques and pacing to match individual needs rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or mobility is limited, and they allow clients to practice skills and check in from wherever they are located within Florida.
