About Marisa

Marisa Logsdon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and depression. She also supports those coping with addiction, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Marisa writes plainly: life is hard and counseling can help. She approaches sessions with a practical, down-to-earth style.

Conversations are goal-focused and respectful. She encourages clients to name what matters and to take small, doable steps toward change.

Marisa draws from several therapeutic methods to fit each person’s needs, including the Gottman Method for relationship patterns, attachment-based ideas about connection, and cognitive-behavioral tools to shift thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered listening and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.

She earned a Master of Arts in counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Spring Arbor University. Marisa holds a Michigan LPC and is a member of the Michigan Counseling Association.

Her background includes work with grief, parenting, school and career issues, and crisis-related concerns. Sessions are practical and collaborative.

Marisa aims to help people answer their own questions and reach the goals they set. She balances structured tools with an accepting, supportive presence in the room.

How Marisa’s Approaches Work Online

Marisa uses the Gottman Method ideas to look at recurring patterns in close relationships and help people notice and change unhelpful interactions. This can be useful when couples or partners want clearer communication and fewer arguments. She also draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early connection styles affect current relationships, helping clients understand why they react the way they do. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress and to practice concrete strategies to shift them.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Marisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things progress so work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer no video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections, or support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills in real time.
