Practical Approaches, Flexible Online Support

Marissa Savala integrates evidence-based approaches to help clients move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more equipped to handle what life brings. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she helps clients notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, then practice new ways of responding that better support mood, stress, and anxiety management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense or hard to control. She also often draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, emphasizing strengths, clarifying goals, and identifying small, realistic steps that build momentum over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marissa collaborates with each client to understand what they want to work on and what already helps, then tailors sessions to fit their goals, needs, and preferences. The work can evolve as goals become clearer and new challenges come up.

Online therapy with Marissa can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with care, fit therapy into a busy week, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for communication and reflection.
