About Marissa
Marissa Tcharie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse. Marissa also focuses on social anxiety and phobia, self-esteem, and feelings of isolation.
She uses straightforward conversation to help clients make sense of difficult emotions.

Marissa brings a Christian-informed perspective when clients want faith included in their discussions.
Her work pays attention to issues like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and building self-respect. She helps people clarify values and consider next steps for relationships or life purpose. Discussions are paced so people can try ideas between sessions and report back on what did or didn’t work.
Marissa emphasizes concrete skills alongside meaning-focused conversations. That can look like practicing how to speak up, role-playing a difficult talk, or naming thought patterns that fuel anxiety. She supports people who want to strengthen self-love while also addressing past hurts.
Clients can expect an approach that mixes practical problem solving with longer-term reflection. Marissa helps set goals, tracks progress, and adjusts plans as needed. She works in English and serves people located in New York.
How her approaches translate to online work
Marissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and deeper understanding. One common approach she applies involves teaching coping and communication skills through step-by-step practice, which helps with managing anxiety and improving difficult conversations. Another approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which can reduce avoidance and make social situations feel more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marissa will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan as the work progresses so sessions remain relevant and useful.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to attend regular check-ins, try skill practice in real life between meetings, and keep momentum when life gets hectic.
