About Marissa
Marissa Geraci is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, career questions, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports those wrestling with trauma, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting stress, and major life changes.
Marissa uses straightforward, skills-based methods to address everyday problems. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also integrates elements of the Gottman Method for people who want to address relationship patterns and communication habits.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations include identifying thought patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing small changes between meetings. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed and new challenges come up.
Marissa frames work as collaborative. She listens to what matters to each person and combines coaching-style problem solving with therapeutic techniques. This can include support for guilt, shame, jealousy, infidelity concerns, loneliness, life purpose, and self-love.
Her approach is plain and action oriented. People who want direct feedback, concrete tools, and clear homework tasks will recognize the structure she offers. Sessions are conducted in English and are provided from Florida.
CBT and Gottman-based work delivered online
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts, test new ways of thinking, and practice small behavioral changes. CBT is practical and focused on skills that can reduce worry, improve sleep, and increase motivation.She also uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and recurrent relationship problems. That approach centers on improving how partners talk and solve problems together and on changing repetitive interaction cycles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marissa will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, Gottman-informed techniques, or a mix of both fits best. Goals, preferences, and the specific issues you bring guide those decisions.
