About Marissa
Marissa Namirr is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship strain. She offers straightforward support for daily struggles and bigger life changes. Her approach is practical and focused on steps you can try between sessions.
She draws on 22 years of clinical experience working with adults facing mood concerns, coping challenges, and issues like attachment or abandonment. Sessions aim to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through feelings and make small, realistic changes.
Background and approach
Marissa encourages clear goals and simple tools that fit real life. In therapy she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. That method helps people notice patterns, test new ways of thinking, and build different behaviors.
Marissa pairs this with a conversational style so ideas are easy to put into practice. Many clients come for help with parenting stress, blended family dynamics, caregiving strain, or midlife shifts. She also addresses addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and mood disorders with attention to each person’s history and current pressures.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s needs. Marissa provides teletherapy to residents of Georgia, offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She guides clients through the early steps and supports steady progress toward clearer goals.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT breaks problems into clear parts so clients can try practical experiments, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build different habits. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low mood, stress, parenting strain, and coping with life transitions.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Marissa talks with each person about goals and daily life, and then they choose strategies together. She adapts CBT techniques to fit what the client prefers and what actually works in their routine, so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and a conversational pace similar to in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a way to touch base between sessions or to reflect in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day and to keep momentum between appointments.
