Getting to know Marissa Gurello

Hi, I'm Marissa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) working with adults and adolescents from a diverse range of backgrounds and communities. I support clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and questions of confidence and self esteem. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling overwhelmed by decisions, or wondering whether you're handling things the "right" way, and longing for clarity, relief, or simply a space where you feel understood. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique experience. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness based approaches, and others, tailoring our work to you rather than applying a one size fits all method. I hold a Master's degree from Lesley University and bring over eight years of experience to my work. I believe meaningful change happens when we learn to face difficult emotions with curiosity and without judgment. If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to connect.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I like to meet you where you are in your own experience. You don't need to arrive with the right words or a clear plan for what you want to work on. I value authenticity in the therapy space, and I want our work together to feel like a warm, genuine connection where you feel safe enough to explore and grow. Whether you're an adolescent sorting through a lot at once or an adult carrying anxiety, a significant transition, or questions about confidence and relationships, we'll move at a pace that works for you. My hope is that you leave our sessions feeling more empowered to make the changes you want in your life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our early sessions are mostly about getting to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you in, what your life looks like right now, and what you're hoping will feel different. From there, we set goals together so the work stays connected to what actually matters to you. Depending on what you need, I may bring in tools from CBT, DBT, Internal Family Systems, or mindfulness based approaches, and we'll explore the patterns underneath the challenges you're facing rather than only managing symptoms. I check in regularly about how therapy is going and adjust as we go, because your needs will shift over time and our work should shift with them.
