About Marissa
LCSW in North Carolina with seven years of clinical experience, Marissa Cox supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, social anxiety, and phobia.
Marissa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a practical framework. Sessions are interactive and goal-oriented. She works with clients to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to test new approaches in daily life.
Her style is conversational and direct. She listens, asks clarifying questions, and offers structured tools you can try between sessions. Expect problem-focused work alongside reflection about values and priorities.
Marissa treats parenting and relationship concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps. For ADHD and anxiety she leans on concrete strategies - planning, behavioral experiments, and skills practice - rather than abstract theory. Career and life-change work centers on clear goals and small actionable moves.
People who prefer a collaborative, hands-on approach will find focused sessions and homework-oriented tasks. She describes therapy as a process of testing what helps and changing course when needed.

How CBT-based work translates to online sessions
CBT is a structured approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them with experiments, and building new habits through repeated practice. This method is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and social fears.For ADHD and parenting concerns she emphasizes planning, routines, and small behavioral changes. Online sessions can focus on skill demonstrations, guided planning, and reviewing real-life exercises completed between visits.
Choosing the right way to work is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and adjust techniques as they learn what helps. That planning is part of early sessions so each person gets a clear, practical path forward.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, to drop in for a shorter check-in when needed, and to use screen-shared worksheets or emailed exercises between sessions.
