About Marissa
Marissa Tcharie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with five years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses self-esteem, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Marissa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and brings a Christian-informed perspective when clients want that included. She helps people talk through communication problems, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Sessions focus on clear steps someone can try between meetings and on learning new ways to respond to old patterns.
She explains feelings plainly and helps clients name what is happening when guilt or shame feels overwhelming. Work may include looking at how past experiences shape current reactions and practicing different ways to relate to oneself and others. Marissa encourages small, practical changes that build a sense of self-acceptance over time.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is reviewed regularly. The Christian-informed element is offered as one part of therapy when it fits with a client’s values and questions. Marissa supports people exploring forgiveness and self-love without pushing a particular belief system.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Marissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand and change patterns that keep them stuck. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments; this helps with anxiety, social fears, and negative self-beliefs. Another approach looks at how past wounds and relational patterns shape current reactions, helping people make different choices in relationships and reduce shame.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marissa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and pace. She reviews what’s helping and adjusts the plan together as needs evolve.
