About Marisa
Marisa Logsdon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and addiction concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma, sleep or eating problems, anger, low self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Marisa brings 12 years of clinical experience and a straightforward, supportive attitude to sessions.
Marisa holds a Master of Arts in counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Spring Arbor University. She is licensed in Michigan as an LPC and is a member of the Michigan Counseling Association. Her background includes work with issues such as ADHD, grief and loss, domestic violence, and school or career concerns.
In sessions she focuses on helping people answer their own questions and face feelings openly. She aims to create an atmosphere where clients can talk through current problems and set realistic goals. Conversations are practical and paced to each person's needs.
Marisa uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationships and connection, client-centered methods to follow the client's lead, and cognitive-behavioral tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical strategies and existential questions also appear when they fit the client's goals.
Outside of work Marisa lives in Michigan with her husband, two young children, and two energetic dogs. She frames counseling as a collaborative effort and invites people to bring the real issues they face so they can work toward clearer direction and manageable change.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Marisa often uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how past connections shape current reactions; it can help with relationship strain and attachment issues. Client-centered work focuses on following the person's lead and offering reflective listening to help them find their own answers. Cognitive-behavioral techniques break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into concrete steps to try different responses in daily life.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what helps you make progress. Clients and the therapist shape the plan together rather than relying on one fixed method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between responsibilities. Licensed professionals can use this flexibility to help you practice new skills and apply strategies to real-world moments without promising a specific format.
