Getting to know Marissa Caponera
Sometimes you know something isn't working, but you can't quite figure out why. Maybe your thoughts won't slow down, you're second-guessing yourself, you're stuck in the same relationship patterns, or you're trying to navigate a change in your life and don't know what comes next.
Therapy can be a place to slow things down and make sense of what's happening. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, stress, or a major life transition, we'll work together to better understand your thoughts, feelings, and patterns so you can feel more grounded and more confident moving forward.
I take a warm, collaborative approach to therapy. You don't need to have the perfect words or know exactly what you need from therapy. You can show up confused, overwhelmed, frustrated, or simply curious about why you keep feeling or reacting the way you do.
We'll start there.
For me, therapy isn't about telling you who you should be. It's about helping you understand yourself better so you can make choices that actually feel right for you.
You don't have to untangle everything in your head before you walk through the door. That's what we're here to do.
I provide telehealth therapy throughout New Jersey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Starting therapy can feel a little awkward. Maybe you're thinking, “I don't even know what to talk about,” “Am I overthinking this?” or “Why do I keep doing this to myself?”
You don't need to have the answers before you come in. We'll slow things down, figure out what's really going on, and work together to understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Using approaches like CBT, we'll work on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and finding ways to respond to them differently.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, stress, or a life transition, therapy can help you feel more grounded and more confident in yourself.
The goal isn't to control every thought. It's to understand yourself better and feel more in control of what you do with those thoughts.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
You don't need to show up with a perfectly organized list of everything that's wrong. Seriously.
We’ll start with whatever feels most important that day. Maybe it’s anxiety that won't shut off, a relationship that's stressing you out, something that happened at school or work, or the thought of “Why am I reacting like this?”
We'll talk, ask questions, and connect the dots between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. When it feels helpful, we'll use CBT and other practical tools to look at unhelpful thought patterns and find different ways to respond.
Some sessions may feel deep. Others might feel more like, “Okay, that actually makes sense now.” There’s no perfect way to do therapy.
You can expect a space where you can be honest, ask questions, laugh when it feels right, and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
