Marissa Clement , LMHC

Marissa Clement is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on women's issues and related concerns. She brings eight years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and addiction. Sessions aim to be respectful and patient so clients can speak at their own pace and feel heard.

She uses practical, down-to-earth methods. Marissa draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to build trust and a stronger sense of self.

In sessions she listens first and shares tools second. That can mean learning skills to manage stress and panic, building routines to support recovery from drug or alcohol problems, or practicing ways to set boundaries in relationships. Conversations also cover body image, intimacy-related worries, and finding life purpose.

Marissa has worked with people coping with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her goal is to help clients strengthen resilience and take small, practical steps forward. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals are shaped together.

She practices in New York as an NY LMHC. Therapy is offered in English and across formats that fit varied schedules. Many clients find the mix of listening, concrete skills, and steady support helps them regain clarity and direction.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work with this approach helps clients notice trust and closeness issues and practice new ways of relating during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on changing thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions clients learn simple exercises and homework to reduce anxiety and manage mood between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance so the client leads the pace; this helps people feel understood while they talk through difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marissa works collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on a person's goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and suggests methods to try, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days or provide ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still working toward clear goals.
