About Marissa
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with six years of experience. Dr. Marissa Goldman works with adults in Minnesota on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and women's issues. Her stated method includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside relational and trauma-aware perspectives.
Dr. Goldman centers therapy on practical conversation and clear skills. Sessions typically involve noticing what keeps a person stuck, naming unhelpful thinking or patterns, and trying different ways of coping. She describes her overall stance as grounded and relational, attending to the stories people inherit about themselves and how those stories affect daily life.
She often helps people who are exhausted from caring for others or performing competence. Typical work includes addressing burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, identity shifts, and grief over changing roles. Some clients are processing earlier wounds; others are learning to state needs and set limits.
CBT techniques are used to identify and reframe patterns of thinking that maintain stress and anxiety. Sessions can include skill practice and small experiments to test new behaviors between meetings. The aim is steady, practical change rather than sudden fixes.
Dr. Goldman invites people to bring whatever they have, including confusion or not-yet-formed words. She emphasizes collaboration and slow shaping of goals. To begin, a reader should confirm current session options and follow the site's steps to schedule a first meeting.

How CBT fits into remote sessions
Dr. Goldman uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT in practice means tracking thoughts, testing small experiments between visits, and learning concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress.She pairs CBT with a relational, trauma-aware approach that pays attention to patterns rooted in past relationships. That perspective helps when people are working through perfectionism, caregiver exhaustion, or identity shifts. The therapist will work with each person to see which approach or mix of approaches fits best, rather than prescribing one method up front.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She will collaborate with clients to set goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on how things are going. This collaborative planning helps match tools to the client’s daily life and priorities.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. Some sessions may focus on brief skill practice or check-ins that fit into a lunch break, while others can be longer for deeper work.
