About Marisa
Marisa Logsdon, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and trauma and abuse. She also supports those coping with depression, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and the life changes that follow illness or caregiving. Marisa writes plainly: life is hard - counseling can help.
She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a Master of Arts in counseling from Spring Arbor University. Marisa holds a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor credential and is a member of the Michigan Counseling Association. Her background includes work with grief, parenting, critical incident response, and a range of behavioral and mood concerns.
Her sessions focus on helping each person answer their own questions. She creates a calm, supportive atmosphere where clients can talk through current problems and set concrete goals. Treatment draws on approaches that match the client's needs rather than one fixed method.
Marisa uses client-centered work along with attachment-based ideas to strengthen relationships and sense of belonging. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills for mood, anxiety, and stress. Existential ideas come into play when clients want to examine meaning, values, and life direction.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and emotional safety. It helps people understand patterns from early connections and build trust and closeness in current relationships.Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own solutions and direction.
Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marisa will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions often mix approaches so treatment matches what the person wants to accomplish.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to join from different locations. Licensed professionals can use a mix of techniques during online appointments to focus on skills, relationship work, or problem-solving depending on the client's goals.
