About Marissa

Marissa Raskin is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She trained in psychology and forensic mental health counseling and has worked in settings that involved people affected by the criminal justice system. Marissa supports adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and related concerns including trauma and grief.

She uses straightforward talk therapy and practical strategies. Sessions focus on identifying problems, learning coping skills, and testing changes that fit day-to-day life. Cognitive tools and mindfulness practices are used to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings. Motivational interviewing helps when substance use or behavior change is the goal.

Marissa often helps people dealing with blended family issues, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation matters, and caregiver stress. She also supports those working through family of origin concerns, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose. Her approach aims to address both immediate symptoms and the patterns that keep problems recurring.

Expect short-term skill-building and longer conversations about underlying patterns when needed. Sessions combine problem-solving with self-reflection. Marissa describes options and collaborates on a plan so clients know what to try between appointments.

She works in English and practices in New York. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details using the service's matching and scheduling process.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, respectful conversation and understanding the client's priorities. It supports people who want to sort through their feelings and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can help with anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust over time. This is a collaborative process where techniques are picked based on what helps in real life and what the client prefers.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel time. Some formats also let a person choose audio-only interactions if they prefer not to use video, which can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a short session is needed.
