About Marisa

Marisa Logsdon is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship challenges, and addictions. She also supports coping with life changes, career stress, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue. Marisa lists Men’s wellbeing among her practice interests and brings a straightforward, down-to-earth approach to sessions.

Marisa works with clients to clarify goals and make small, practical changes that fit daily life. She focuses on helping people answer their own questions and name the next steps they want to try. Sessions aim to be supportive and goal-directed rather than overwhelming.

Her background includes a Master of Arts degree in counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Spring Arbor University. She holds a counseling license from the state of Michigan and is a member of the Michigan Counseling Association. Marisa has 12 years of experience in clinical work.

In the room she uses a mix of approaches depending on the person’s needs. This can include attachment-based work to notice relationship patterns, client-centered conversations to prioritize the client’s perspective, and cognitive behavioral tools to address thoughts and behaviors that get in the way.

Marisa describes counseling as a place to explore current issues and reach practical goals. She lives in Michigan with her husband, two young children, and two active dogs, and brings a calm, practical presence to the work.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-based methods focus on how past and current relationships shape feelings and reactions; this helps people notice patterns that affect trust and connection. Client-centered therapy centers the client's own experience and priorities, letting the session follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest which methods might help most, then adjust the plan as you try things and give feedback. The process is about testing what fits your life and making changes together.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between errands. It can also let people focus on skill practice and real-life experiments between sessions, so therapy blends with everyday routines.
