Marissa Geraci , LMHC

Marissa Geraci is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and concerns about motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Marissa emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, meeting each person where they are and adapting her conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs.

Her approach centers on practical collaboration - she helps clients set achievable goals, explore underlying patterns, and build skills for coping with life changes. Beginning therapy can take real courage, and Marissa acknowledges that step while offering steady support and guidance as clients move forward. She aims to tailor interventions so they align with a client’s values, priorities, and pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT combines practical exercises and reflective work to address issues like anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties, and stress by teaching skills for coping and problem solving.

She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work, offering tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen emotional connection between partners. This approach is geared toward couples who want to build healthier interaction patterns and repair hurt in relationships.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Marissa will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods fit best. She adapts techniques over time to match progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support and make it easier to access therapy from different locations while accommodating varied communication styles.
