About
Marissa Savala is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Oklahoma with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on guiding adults through challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions. Her work also addresses compassion fatigue, grief, anger, self esteem, and coping with life changes.
Her clinical approach draws on solution-focused techniques and evidence-based therapies, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. She integrates these approaches to help clients identify strengths, clarify goals, and develop practical skills for day-to-day coping. Marissa also attends to issues related to blended families, codependency, domestic violence, substance use, and identity concerns such as LGBT and sexuality matters.
Marissa strives to create an open, nonjudgmental setting where thoughts and feelings can be explored. She notes limited scheduling availability and currently arranges sessions primarily on Saturdays and Sundays, with occasional case-by-case exceptions. Prospective clients are invited to consider those scheduling constraints when determining fit.

Online therapy approach
Marissa offers remote sessions that combine practical skill building and goal-focused planning. She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so clients can choose the communication format that fits their routine. Scheduling is currently limited to Saturdays and Sundays unless other arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis.
Her work is grounded in Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. In accessible language she helps clients identify their strengths, set short-term goals, and prioritize steps that make daily life more manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to teach specific strategies for emotion regulation, thought patterns, and problem solving.
These methods suit people who prefer collaborative sessions that combine listening with practical tools and stepwise planning. In remote meetings Marissa invites clients to co-create goals, track progress, and practice the skills discussed between contacts using the communication channel they find most comfortable.
