About Marissa
Marissa Clement is an LMHC who draws on eight years of clinical experience to guide clients through stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside complementary modalities to help people examine thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and create more balanced daily routines. Her approach balances evidence-informed techniques with attention to personal meaning and inner experience.
In sessions Marissa emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance that invites exploration at a comfortable pace while offering structure when needed. She integrates attachment-informed perspectives to clarify relational patterns and DBT-informed strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Marissa pays attention to concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, career shifts, and substance use, and she supports clients processing bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. Located in New York, Marissa conducts therapy in English and offers several online session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
She frames therapy as a partnership focused on strengthening resilience, clarifying life purpose, and fostering self-love and healthier relationship patterns.
How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Marissa blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered perspectives to shape online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction-related patterns. Attachment-based approaches examine how early and current relational patterns influence emotional reactions and intimacy, which can be helpful for relationship concerns and self-esteem. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic stance that helps clients feel heard and gradually explore values and life purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marissa collaborates with clients to determine which combination of techniques fits their goals and preferences. She tailors interventions together with each person, adjusting the balance between skills training, relational exploration, and reflective work as needs evolve.
Online therapy with Marissa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and to access support from varied locations within New York. The variety of formats also allows clients to use more structured sessions or brief check-ins depending on what works best for them.
