Getting to know Mirissa Jackson

Welcome, my name is Mirissa Jackson, Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, and I am the owner of Relief with Rissa, LLC. I am currently 100% remote and have seven years of experience as a clinical therapist. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I am eager to engage Black women in the process of healing institutional, generational, and systemic trauma. In session with me, I allow my clients to take off the mask, the suit, the uniform, and be themselves. You will have an opportunity to explore change and address issues that are most important to you. Together, we will develop a realistic plan for change that makes sense. My experience stems from a variety of settings, including substance use rehabilitation centers, residential centers, prison settings, and military base facilities. My interventions include specific treatment modalities such as, but not limited to, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based approaches, Brainspotting, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. My approach to therapy is simple: I am committed to the mental health, emotional well-being, and general wellness of Black women. This understanding, coupled with my formal training and life experience, arms me with the unique ability to meet you where you are on your mental health journey and help navigate you toward your desired goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You can expect to have a warm, welcoming, and safe environment to begin your healing process.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
