At Socratic Wellness, I provide integrative therapy grounded in collaboration, curiosity, and practical growth. I specialize in working with veterans, first responders, and individuals looking to improve communication skills, manage trauma, or navigate life transitions. My approach is client-centered and adaptable, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities to meet you where you are. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action, even in the presence of difficult thoughts and emotions. EMDR is available for processing trauma and building nervous system resilience. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to explore patterns, support behavior change, and strengthen internal motivation. My style is warm, respectful, and engaged. I often use Socratic questioning to encourage insight and deeper self-understanding, and I draw from existential perspectives to explore identity, purpose, and meaning — especially during times of uncertainty or change. I take an eclectic approach, customizing therapy based on your goals, needs, and strengths. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others, therapy can be a place to sort through what’s getting in the way and reconnect with what matters most. You don’t need to show up with answers — just a willingness to explore. Together, we’ll build a space that supports reflection, healing, and forward movement at your own pace.

I encourage an active therapy experience where clients learn skills, set weekly goals, and complete homework to build a sense of independence and self-confidence. Whether you're struggling with your self-esteem, anxious thoughts, work, relationships, general motivation or more, I can help! I look forward to helping you explore and overcome your struggles with compassion, good humor, and evidenced based techniques. I won't be the type of therapist who just sits backs and nods. I want to help you with active problem solving and building skills and I will give advice. It may be helpful to know that I am a married mom of a 3 year old boy and I am happy to share parts of my personal life if I feel that it helps enhance the therapy process. I would be honored to be chosen for your therapy journey and look forward to connecting soon.

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts, with a Master’s degree from William James College in Boston. I specialize in helping individuals overcome family, relationship, and career stress, as well as burnout. My goal is to empower you to become the best version of yourself.I use a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs. Some of the key approaches I incorporate are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Encourages you to focus on the present moment and develop a non-judgmental awareness of your thoughts and feelings. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Focuses on finding solutions and setting achievable goals. Person-Centered Therapy: Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and active listening to support you in your growth. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps you understand and transform your emotional responses, particularly in relationships. Psychoeducation: Provides you with information and resources to better understand your mental health and coping strategies. These techniques allow me to address a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship challenges.

Hi! My name is Marisa and I am an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), residing in Massachusetts. I received my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology in 2018. I have been practicing in the mental health/human services field in a variety of settings: outpatient, crisis stabilization unit, residential and have experience working with adults dealing with a wide range of mental health and substance abuse disorders. My focus is person-centered and to create a compassionate, inclusive, and trauma-informed space to allow individuals to fully express themselves. My perspective is that each person is the author of their own story and therapy provides support in maneuvering this. You are the expert of yourself. I have experience supporting individuals dealing with life stressors, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and borderline personality disorder. My style is more eclectic, using a combination of classic talk therapy and CBT and DBT tools. I utilize humor as a way to create common ground with the client and relate through the human condition.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Massachusetts rather than a city like Boston?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Massachusetts from Springfield to Cape Cod! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Massachusetts.

Will my therapist take OptumHealth Complex Medical Conditions?

Yes! If you use OptumHealth Complex Medical Conditions you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have OptumHealth Complex Medical Conditions you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
