Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online
Marissa Raskin draws from approaches that can be effective in an online setting and can be adapted to concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, substance use, and major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing practical skills to respond differently. Many people find CBT helpful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday coping when life feels overwhelming.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes learning to observe thoughts, feelings, and body sensations with more steadiness and less reactivity. It can support clients who feel stuck in worry, panic, or high stress, and it can also strengthen day-to-day emotional balance.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental style that helps people explore ambivalence and build momentum toward change. It is often used when someone wants support around habits, substance use, or making difficult decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marissa works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, identify preferences, and choose strategies that fit the person and the moment.
Online therapy can also make support more accessible. Clients can meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, parenting demands, or times when leaving home feels hard.
