Marissa Herrera, LPC

Marissa Herrera is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, addictions, and identity-related issues. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy questions, parenting strain, career decisions, and changes in life stage.

She uses practical, goal-focused methods. Sessions often look at thoughts, habits, and choices that keep problems going. She works in a client-directed way and treats people as the experts on their own lives. Therapy emphasizes testing small changes and noticing what works.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, motivational interviewing, EMDR, and solution-focused methods. That mix is used to break down stuck patterns, strengthen coping skills, and address painful memories when relevant. Marissa aims to help people challenge negative beliefs and build clearer plans for action.

Sessions are straightforward and action-oriented. Conversations typically include concrete exercises, practice tasks between meetings, and periodic review of progress. The therapist encourages people to try different responses and track what changes over time.

Marissa has worked in a variety of mental health settings. Her background includes supporting people with cultural and gender identity concerns and neurodevelopmental needs. She offers practical support for coaching-style goals as well as clinical symptoms, and she asks people to be active participants in planning treatment.
