About
Dr. Marissa Goldman, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a licensed mental health professional trained to provide therapy and clinical support. Her work centers on supporting women who are often seen as the steady ones - high-functioning, capable, and relied upon by others - yet rarely given space to name how they are truly doing.
In therapy, Dr. Goldman helps women who are navigating burnout, anxiety, shifting identity, relationship patterns, perfectionism, and the quiet fatigue that can come with always being the strong one. Many people she works with have learned to look like they are coping long before they feel any real sense of relief. Some are making sense of earlier wounds, some are learning how to recognize and voice their needs, and some arrive simply because they are tired and want something to change.
Her style is grounded, relational, and deeply human. She pays close attention to the stories women inherit about who they are supposed to be, and she offers a space where healing is not something to earn or perform. Clients do not need to be in crisis to reach out, and they do not need perfect language for what is wrong. Therapy can be a place to build words, clarity, and support - together - so they do not have to keep carrying everything alone.

CBT-Informed Online Support for Burnout and Anxiety
Dr. Marissa Goldman integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. CBT can be especially helpful for stress and anxiety, perfectionism, and the self-critical patterns that keep people stuck in overfunctioning and exhaustion.She also brings a relational focus to therapy, paying attention to how past and present relationships shape expectations, boundaries, and the roles people feel pressured to play. For many women who are used to being the reliable one, this can create space to explore needs, identity shifts, and relationship patterns with more clarity and self-compassion.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Goldman works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want from therapy, what has and has not worked before, and what feels most supportive right now. Together, they can adjust the pace and focus so therapy fits the client rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This can make it easier to get consistent support alongside a busy schedule, caregiving responsibilities, or life transitions, without needing to commute or rearrange the entire day.
