About Marissa
Dr. Marissa Goldman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her practice also includes coaching and support around caregiver strain and women's issues.
Goldman often sees people who keep responsibilities for others and rarely ask for help. She focuses on everyday problems like burnout, perfectionism, repeated relationship patterns, and the fatigue of holding everything together. Sessions are practical and conversational, aimed at helping clients notice what wears them down and try manageable changes.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy alongside attachment-aware and trauma-informed ideas. That means sessions include looking at thoughts and behaviors, noticing relationship patterns, and working with emotional responses that come from past wounds. Techniques often include simple behavior changes and moment-to-moment coping strategies.
Goldman pays attention to the stories people inherit about who they should be. She helps clients name those messages and quietly test alternatives in real life. Work can include setting boundaries, shifting expectations, and building steadier self-regard.
People who choose her tend to want practical tools and real adjustments they can use between sessions. She practices in Minnesota and conducts therapy in English. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
BHow sessions work
How Marissa Goldman uses CBT and relational work online
Marissa uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in a straightforward way: identify unhelpful thoughts, test them with real-life changes, and build new habits that reduce anxiety and stress. CBT is useful for panic, persistent worry, perfectionism, and daily habits that get in the way of rest.She also brings attachment-aware and trauma-informed ideas into sessions. That means paying attention to how past relationships shape current expectations and interactions, and working gently to change patterns that cause repeated strain. These elements help when communication problems or caregiver stress keep repeating.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on goals, preferences, and what shows early results. The process includes checking in and adjusting plans when something is not helping.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care and test changes in real life between meetings.
