Marissa Myers

Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She welcomes conversations about codependency, addiction, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. Her tone is straightforward and supportive for those who feel stuck and need a clear next step.

Marissa keeps sessions collaborative and practical. She begins by asking about strengths, challenges, and what the client hopes will change. From there she and the client build a plan with small, doable steps rather than long lists of exercises. She focuses on what makes life feel easier or more meaningful in day-to-day moments.

Her practice draws from several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based work. In the room she uses these methods to notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and strengthen skills for coping with emotions and urges. She also pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin themes when they feel relevant.

Marissa aims for a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can be honest about mistakes and fears. Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-world goals like managing anxiety, reducing substance-related harm, improving communication, or navigating big changes. She brings three years of clinical experience as an LCSW licensed in Louisiana and Virginia.

To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them and then shapes therapy around those priorities. The work is paced to fit each person's life and commitments.
