Marissa is an amazing therapist, extremely helpful as someone who wants real solutions and coping skills rather than just a listening ear, although she's great at just listening as well. She's also been extremely accommodating with my busy schedule, I couldn't ask for a better therapist!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Marissa is the best therapist I’ve ever had! She always makes me feel heard & validated. I, myself, am a therapist & I feel I have a lot to learn from Marissa. She’s great at what she does & genuinely seems to care!
My therapist validated me and checks in on le often!
I’ve only had a few sessions. But, she has been so great at fully hearing me and offering several ways to help me through my struggles. She responds to messages in a timely manner and she encourages me to reach out at any time.
She’s amazing
Marissa is truly so kind, asks the right questions, checks in frequently, and has just been all around wonderful during such a trying time in my life.
Your doing a great job thank you
Marissa has been great! She connected on me and my past and my marriage better than I imagined! And she connected with me spiritually which was awesome!
We only recently connected, but I am very encouraged and hopeful!
One of the more thoughtful and insightful therapists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Marissa helps offer perspective and new approaches to help me better understand myself. I’m very thankful I was matched with her.
