Marissa Tcharie

Marissa Tcharie is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also helps people who feel isolated or struggle with social anxiety and low self-esteem.

Marissa frames her work around practical conversations about what is happening now and what someone wants to change. She listens for patterns in relationships, thoughts, and behaviors, then helps people experiment with small changes. Sessions focus on clearer communication, reducing shame and guilt, and building a steadier sense of self-worth.

Her background includes integrating a Christian-informed perspective for clients who want that context. That influence shows up when faith and values are part of the work, especially around forgiveness, meaning, and life purpose. She does not present faith as a requirement but as an available lens when it fits the person's goals.

Marissa pays particular attention to how people relate to others and to themselves. She helps clients notice avoidance, rehearse different ways of speaking, and practice boundaries. These are described in everyday terms and linked to real tasks a person can try between sessions.

People who reach out often want practical steps and clearer priorities after a change or during a period of doubt. Marissa supports that process by breaking larger questions into manageable next steps. To begin, she asks about current concerns, daily routines, and what matters most to the client.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for the problems listed include approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and those that emphasize practicing new ways of relating. Cognitive-style techniques help identify and shift worrying or self-critical thoughts and are useful for anxiety and depression. Behavioral and skills-focused work supports practicing communication, social interactions, and boundary-setting to reduce isolation and improve relationships.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what has helped before, what matters now, and together they will try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. Adjustments are made as the work unfolds so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while they sort out career, life purpose, or relationship questions.
