Marissa Cooney

Biography

I am an authentic and warm mental health counselor who graduated from Liberty University with the hope to make a difference in the lives of others. With a passion to understand the root of problems and why they exist, you will find me working alongside with you to uncover the roots of complex trauma, pain, anxiety depression, or even just maladaptive behavioral issues. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help each client understand the link between thoughts and behaviors and why they exist. I am direct during therapy sessions, but also non-judgmental and safe in my approach. I am a Christian and will willingly include spiritual components in our sessions, but I also appreciate opportunities to work with clients who are not faith-based and will respect that as well. If you're wanting to find someone to help work with your child, I love having fun in therapy! For children and adolescents, I typically use an emotion-focused approach to help them understand why they feel the way they do and how to develop better resilience and improved self-esteem. There is always hope for each client, even in the middle of very negative seasons. I look forward to working with you to help navigate the complexities and issues of life.
