About Marissa
Marissa Geraci is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Marissa focuses on practical, talk-based work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship-focused conversations. In sessions she addresses topics such as intimacy-related issues, sleep disturbance, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.
She pays attention to guilt, shame, and the fallout from infidelity or isolation. Marissa helps clients who feel stuck by breaking problems into manageable steps. Conversations often include goal-setting, skill practice, and checking progress from week to week.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens, reflects what she hears, and then suggests tools that fit the client's situation. For people unsure where to begin, she starts with current concerns and practical next steps rather than long assessments.
Marissa adapts work to life demands like busy schedules or changing responsibilities. She frames sessions so clients can try new habits between meetings. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and expectations.

How her approaches work in online sessions
CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them in real life. In a session she might help a client identify a thought pattern, try a small behavioral experiment between meetings, and then review what changed. The Gottman Method centers on communication skills and patterns between partners; when relevant she uses its practical tools to improve how people talk about conflict and rebuild connection.Choosing an approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, Gottman tools, or a mix fits best. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps meet the client's goals and preferences.
The specifics of how sessions are delivered should be confirmed before booking. The therapist uses a matching questionnaire and scheduling flow to start care. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can happen between work or family obligations. Confirm the available session formats when you sign up so they match your schedule and needs.
