About Marissa
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. Marissa Torres focuses on anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, stress, and several related areas. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in her work.
Marissa offers a collaborative, straightforward style. She does not promise long-term analysis as the only path to change. Instead she works with people on practical steps they can take now. Sessions often focus on shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and strengthening emotion skills.
She helps with specific concerns such as communication problems, social anxiety and phobia, grief, addictions, intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress, and coping with life changes. Marissa also lists work on self-esteem, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and LGBT-related issues among her areas of attention.
Her approach blends acceptance-based practices with evidence-informed cognitive and emotion-focused techniques. That can look like clarifying values, testing thoughts in real situations, and practicing new ways to respond to strong feelings. EMDR is included for people processing trauma and abuse when appropriate.
Marissa aims to make therapy useful and practical. Sessions move toward clear steps clients can use between appointments. People who want active strategies and direct conversation about problems may find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. It often focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and practicing actions that align with personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT commonly uses short exercises and behavioral experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build different habits for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. In remote sessions this can mean guided conversation and in-the-moment coaching to try new ways of connecting or communicating.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what's been tried before to decide which methods to emphasize. Plans can be adjusted over time as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use techniques between sessions in their daily routine. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the realities of remote meetings.
