Marisa Marinelli, LCSW

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and while resilience matters, there are moments when extra support can make a meaningful difference. I work with individuals who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns and are looking for guidance, insight, and practical tools to move forward. In therapy, I help clients build healthy coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and navigate life transitions. My approach focuses on increasing awareness of thoughts and emotions to better understand challenges and develop effective, lasting solutions. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship challenges, and substance abuse. I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves. I use an integrative, client-centered approach tailored to each individual’s unique needs and therapeutic goals. I understand that seeking help can feel difficult, and your comfort and trust are central to my work. My goal is to empower you to recognize your strengths, foster growth, and create meaningful change in your life.

Your comfort and trust are most important to me. I use a collaborative approach with clients, which allows them to receive the most from therapy. I create a safe and nonjudgmental space for my clients to explore and process through self-reflection. I utilize an integrative approach involving cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based therapy to enhance overall well-being. I will design a treatment plan based on your needs and what will work best to keep you engaged between sessions. I believe that 80% of therapy is using learned skills outside of sessions. We will discuss your progress and review your improvement as we move forward. I work best with clients who are motivated and challenge themselves to go beyond their comfort zone.
