How CBT and the Gottman Method translate to online work

Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or sleep problems. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, with clear exercises and steps you can try between sessions.

She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern. That approach focuses on communication habits, rebuilding trust, and practical ways to improve how people interact with one another.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marissa will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit what you want to accomplish. Together you will adjust the plan as progress is made and new issues come up.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible around work or family commitments. Licensed professionals can still use CBT exercises and Gottman-informed communication work effectively in an online setting, adapting materials and homework to each person's situation.
