Therapist

Welcome! My name is Marissa, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania.

Do you sometimes feel like you can't quite accomplish what you want - in your personal life, work, or relationships? Does your mind get bogged down or overwhelmed with all of those thoughts and things you want or wish you could be achieving?

I believe that everyone deserves to be heard and supported, while owning the ability to work through the situations that arise during the course of your life. My goal is to partner with you to work through what brings you to this point, and to assist in navigating through your goals to continue on your life path while finding balance. I treat everyone as an individual, with a warm and caring, while direct approach. I offer a judgement free environment with the focus on your goals and open communication, both I believe are essential to our therapeutic relationship.

Whether you are working through anxiety, relationship or sexual concerns, family conflict, or grief and loss, I am here to provide you with a compassionate environment to explore all areas that make you who you are. I look forward to partnering with you to make positive changes in your life.

Debra Bennett

Debra Bennett

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


After decades in healthcare, including years in hospice and palliative care, I learned something that shapes everything about how I work: the most powerful thing I can offer is simply to be present. Not to fix, not to explain away, and not to pretend I fully understand what you are going through. But to stay with you in whatever you are carrying, without rushing, without judgment, for as long as it takes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Pennsylvania. My years in hospice prepared me to hold space for people in the most difficult moments of their lives, and that experience is what I bring to therapy now. Whether you are managing a chronic illness, living with chronic pain, carrying trauma, grieving a loss, or burning out from caregiving, you do not have to make it more manageable for the people around you. You just have to show up.

One small note: I have a chronic pain condition myself, so you may see me reposition during our sessions. I mention it upfront so you can focus on yourself rather than wondering.
