About Marissa
Marissa Cox is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with seven years of experience as an independent clinician. She helps people with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also lists life purpose, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, self-love, and social anxiety as additional focus areas.
Her approach is interactive and practical. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and practicing small changes that can make daily life easier. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Marissa aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity and avoids stigmatizing labels. She works collaboratively to shape the conversation and to develop a plan that fits each person's situation. The emphasis is on clear steps and useful skills rather than abstract theory.
She has a background in mental and behavioral health work over a longer span of years prior to obtaining her LCSW. That experience includes supporting people through depression, anxiety, parenting difficulties, relationship strain, career transitions, and ADHD-related concerns. Clients can expect a direct, conversational style that focuses on practical problem solving.
