Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that get in the way of progress. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and patterns formed in early life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills provide tools for emotion regulation and managing intense moments.
Existential questions are brought in when clients want to examine values, meaning, and life choices. Marisa earned a Master of Arts degree in counseling and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Spring Arbor University. She holds a Michigan LPC license and is a member of the Michigan Counseling Association.
Her background includes work with issues such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete strategies. Marisa describes counseling as a place to answer personal questions and address hard feelings.
Outside of work she lives in Michigan with her husband, two young children, and two active dogs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice relational themes and practice new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. CBT work online often involves setting clear goals, practicing skills between sessions, and reviewing progress together.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining attachment ideas with CBT or using DBT skills for emotion regulation when needed. Decisions are made together and can shift as work progresses.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, written reflections, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to use therapy consistently and to practice skills between visits.
