01About Marissa
Marissa Herrera is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood changes, or identity questions. She works with individuals who want practical steps to feel more like themselves again and to challenge unhelpful beliefs. She prefers a client-directed style.
That means clients set goals and pace, and Marissa offers tools and feedback to meet those goals. Her work emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Marissa draws from several evidence-based methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, and motivational interviewing. She also integrates solution-focused techniques and EMDR when appropriate. This mix lets her tailor sessions to a person’s needs rather than following a single script.
Her experience includes eight years in community and clinical settings across different populations and environments. She describes her role as a partner in recovery who helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and build on strengths. Marissa commonly helps people with depression, bipolar mood shifts, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, relationship or intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and coping with life transitions.
She practices in Georgia and offers sessions in English.

How approaches like CBT, ACT, and EMDR work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by teaching practical ways to stay focused on what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then tests new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and habit changes because it gives clear exercises and steps to practice between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the distress they cause. In sessions, the therapist guides attention while clients process memories and build new perspectives and coping skills.
Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Then she will suggest approaches to try and adjust them over time based on how the client responds.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text is useful for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life schedules.
