About Marissa
Marissa Bracco is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 15 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and parenting challenges. Marissa also supports issues around grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She spent much of her career working in school settings and with children and families, and has experience supporting people who have diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, OCD, ODD, and mood disorders. She has also helped people facing financial strain, major life changes, and the aftermath of traumatic events.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Mindfulness is used when it fits the issue and the person. The emphasis is on building rapport first, then choosing practical steps people can try between sessions.
In a typical session she listens for immediate problems, then suggests small, doable strategies to reduce stress or shift thinking patterns. She works with concrete goals such as improving sleep routines, managing anger, or addressing communication problems. Plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed.
People can expect a neutral, nonjudgmental manner and straightforward collaboration on goals. Marissa designs treatment plans to address the specific problems someone brings, including topics like attachment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image issues.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Marissa uses client-centered work to focus on each person's priorities. That means listening first, clarifying what matters most, and shaping sessions around those goals. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress by teaching specific skills and exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and routines.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and will adjust the plan as goals evolve. Expect discussion about what to try between sessions and regular check-ins on progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Talk with the clinician about how to structure sessions to suit work, family, and other daily demands.
