Marissa O’Connor offers compassionate, client-centered therapy from her practice in New York. With seven years of clinical experience, she works with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, depression, relationship and family conflicts, grief, eating disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
She understands that taking the first step toward help can feel daunting and views reaching this page as an important initial move. Helping people along their life journeys is a calling for her rather than just a job, and she strives to create a non-judgmental, supportive environment where clients can work toward meaningful change.
As a licensed clinical social worker in New York, Marissa uses a strengths-based perspective to empower clients to develop the healthy lifestyles they want to live. She tailors each intervention to the unique needs of the individual, employing an individualized approach to address presenting concerns and uncover resources that support healing and growth.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits their needs, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to schedule care around daily life and responsibilities.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change providers at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible and effective path to support during difficult times.
