Marissa ODonley-Borchert
Hello! I'm a licenced clinical social worker in Indiana! While I received my undergraduate degree in political science, I earned my Masters of Social Work from Indiana University and have been practicing since 2021. I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds and with a vast array of concerns, from anxiety to substance abuse.
I aim to be authentic with my clients in order to facilitate this kind of environment and build healthy theraupetic relationships with my clients.
I love working with clients to help them see the best in themselves, and to use their strengths to get closer to their personal goals.
First session
During our first session, we'll do a lot of discussion about what brought you to therapy and the biological, psychological, and social aspects that may be impacting your functioning. This first session will be our opportunity to assess whether I will be a good fit for you as your therapist and for you as my client!
Strengths
I approach all of my work with clients from the standpoint that all people have inherent strength and value as human beings, and that everyone is deserving of compassion and a nonjudgement space to share.
Ideal clients
I love working with clients that are ready and willing to do the sometimes hard work of self reflecting and looking inward to make the changes they want to see. My clients are those that are driven to live their best lives, whether that be through addressing issues such as trauma or working toward sobriety.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I work with you to identify thinking patterns that aren't serving you while also building skills that'll help in turning these thoughts around.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I work with clients on building skills in mindfulness and emotional regulation through the use of concepts such as wise mind and emotion surfing, among other DBT concepts.
