About Marissa

Marissa Torres is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as part of a practical, person-centered approach. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering clear steps and real conversation. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at making change feel possible and manageable.

Marissa draws on 12 years of experience to help with anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship struggles. She also works with concerns such as addictions, grief, self-esteem, intimacy issues, and parenting stress.

Background and approach

Communication problems and social anxiety are also common topics she addresses in sessions. Sessions mix listening with hands-on tools from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of the work when trauma and abuse are involved.

She keeps the focus on small, achievable steps rather than long, abstract analysis. Marissa often helps people move past comparisons, relationship breakups, and patterns that keep them feeling stalled. She aims to leave clients with practical skills, clearer perspective, and a greater sense of control over day-to-day life.

The goal is tangible change rather than just talking about problems. People working together with Marissa can expect direct communication, honest feedback, and tools to handle emotions more effectively. She invites clients to try new ways of thinking and acting so days feel more purposeful and satisfying.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that shape how people relate. Online EFT often helps people notice patterns of feeling and respond to them differently so relationships and emotional life feel clearer.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses simple exercises to clarify values and build actions that match them. It helps with anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck by teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts while choosing meaningful behavior.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable steps. Online CBT typically includes short exercises and practice tasks that fit into daily life, which can be useful for social anxiety, depression, and worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences, then recommend or combine approaches together. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care from different locations.
