About Marissa
Marissa Copeland is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem. She also supports people facing parenting pressures, workplace stress, life changes, and grief.
Marissa uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions. She focuses on what a person wants to change and how to get there. Her work often includes building self-worth and practical skills to manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral ideas and goal-focused techniques. That means conversations focus on a person's experience, thoughts, and behaviors, and on small steps that move them toward goals. Marissa will tailor sessions to each person's needs and priorities.
She has worked in both counseling and clinical settings over the past decade. That background means she has experience supporting people with mood disorders, ADHD, relationship concerns, and adjustment challenges. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.
In sessions Marissa aims to create a reliable space to name problems and try specific strategies. She invites collaboration - clients and therapist work together to identify barriers and practical next steps. The emphasis is on realistic change and building stronger coping skills.

How Marissa uses proven approaches in online therapy
Marissa combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused work to address everyday problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and the client's own goals; it helps people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is helpful for anxiety, anger, and depression. Solution-focused therapy centers on small, achievable steps and on what clients want to see happen next, making it useful for short-term goals and life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marissa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, circumstances, and preferences. She suggests options, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan as progress is made, so the path forward is tailored and flexible.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, short problem-solving, or when someone prefers writing. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while still allowing focused work on anger, stress, self-esteem, and related concerns.
