About Marisa
Marisa Logsdon, LPC, helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, and related concerns like self-esteem and anger. She works with issues that include coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment and family-related topics. Marisa aims to provide calm, straightforward support so people can move forward from what feels overwhelming.
Marisa has a Master of Arts degree in counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Spring Arbor University. She holds a counseling license in Michigan and is a member of the Michigan Counseling Association. She also maintains national certification and is a Registered Social Service Technician.
In sessions she uses practical, person-focused methods. She draws on attachment-based approaches to look at relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical skills and client-centered ideas help people manage emotions and stay grounded while they work toward goals.
Marisa describes counseling as a place to answer your own questions and face your feelings. She focuses on creating a supportive atmosphere where clients can name goals and take steps toward them. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aiming for clear steps rather than jargon.
She lives in Michigan with her husband, two young children, and two lively dogs. Marisa invites people to reach out and explore whether short-term coaching or longer-term counseling would fit their needs.

How certain approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current responses. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating in conversations with the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior; it often includes practical exercises that can be done between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for handling intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, and those skills can be taught and practiced in regular online meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to figure out which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation that can shift as progress is made.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during major life changes. It can also make shorter check-ins or skills practice simpler to schedule around work, childcare, or health needs.
