Getting to know Marissa Krager

Hi there, I'm Marissa! My name is Marissa Krager, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed School Social Worker (PEL) in Illinois. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Aurora University. I look at my clients as a whole-considering their environment, support, interests, strengths, and weaknesses-not just individually. I go at my client's pace, assessing how you are working in counseling and understanding what you're able to process and handle, never adding pressure. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and general counseling. **My approach** I commonly use attachment-based work, processing the client's attachment with past and present support people, family, and loved ones. I know this isn't for all clients, so I adapt my approach to fit each client's best clinical needs. **My focus** Since 2016, I've practiced counseling in non-profit organizations and private clinical practice, working with diverse populations and cultures of children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and generalized stress. **My communication style** Clients always have control over sessions, and I make this clear from the start. You are seeking counseling for support, and creating a non-judgmental environment is very important to me. **My journey to mental healthcare** I love seeing moments of sudden insight or discovery from clients during sessions-it brings me joy! **My goals for you** Clients have 100% say in their clinical goals. We discuss and finalize them together in the first sessions. Goals can change, and we adjust them as needed. **My first session with you** In our first session, I take time to tell you more about myself as a counselor and invite you to ask any questions.
