Deciding to seek help is a vulnerable decision, but shows strength. Sometimes outside support and guidance is just what we need to journey through what we’re facing. If you are constantly feeling overwhelmed by stress or health concerns, are a self-labeled “over-thinker,” have personal traumas weighing you down, or are experiencing a crisis of faith, I may be just the therapist for you!

Marissa has an interpersonal approach to therapy that is true to who she is. She’s direct, helps you explore difficult and uncomfortable places, and cares about your soul. You matter to her and she works hard to be different from any other relationship you’ve had. It’s often the story (like Marissa’s) that life isn’t what it was thought to be. She welcomes all who sit on her couch, no matter what he or she has or is going through. Some of Marissa’s favorite moments in therapy are when client’s discover exceptions to the rules that they probably didn’t even know they had.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and alone? Maybe the unknowns of these challenging times have brought on anxious feelings. On top of that, personal circumstances can leave us with mountains of stress and shame that are too tall to climb alone. You might be asking yourself “what are my next steps towards healing?” We all have unwanted hard times creep into our lives. In addition, isolation can intensify the difficulties we feel. Give yourself the grace to know it is ok to be where you are and feel what you feel. Life can be hard!

Life can hit hard. Stress and heartache can build over time or it can explode instantly into one big mess. Most of the time you can get through ok on your own but sometimes it's just too much to keep going solo. Worries, bad memories, feeling overwhelmed, kids/significant other driving you nuts, or wanting to just hide in bed can take over. Sometimes you need a friendly ear to help you figure out what happened and how to get out of the mess without feeling judged or looked down on. Someone who can help you feel like you again: happy, hopeful, confident, empowered!

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
