About Marissa
LCSW Marissa Fenner has five years of clinical experience in New York. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, and ADHD. She uses practical, talk-based methods to address daily challenges and emotional strain.
Fenner works in a collaborative, client-centered way. Sessions focus on identifying a few clear goals and trying actionable steps between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness strategies are used to build moment-to-moment coping skills and reduce reactivity.
Motivational interviewing appears when someone is weighing change. It helps clarify what matters and boosts motivation for the next step. Solution-focused methods guide short-term planning and concrete problem solving for immediate stresses.
In sessions she favors straightforward conversations and practical exercises. Clients can expect a mix of skill teaching, goal setting, and review of what worked between sessions. The pace is set together based on what a person can manage alongside other responsibilities.
Fenner practices in New York as an LCSW. She offers care in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking to make sure they fit their needs.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Marissa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and focuses on small experiments and skill practice between sessions, which fits well with remote work. Mindfulness therapy is taught as short, guided practices and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals, everyday demands, and what feels doable. That plan is reviewed and adjusted as progress is observed or priorities shift.
The therapist's session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full visit is not needed. Different formats may also let someone choose a quieter, lower-bandwidth option or a session that does not require being on camera, depending on what they prefer.
