About Marissa Bracco

Marissa Bracco is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with more than 15 years of experience supporting children, families, and individuals. She has spent much of her career working in school settings and providing care for young people and their caregivers, developing a breadth of experience with concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, OCD, ODD, and other mood-related diagnoses. She has also assisted people navigating financial crises, adjustment to life changes, and experiences of trauma and abuse.

Her therapeutic manner is calm and welcoming, and she emphasizes building strong rapport as the foundation of effective work. She maintains a neutral, nonjudgmental stance to create a respectful space where people can explore their concerns. Her clinical approach blends elements of cognitive behavioral therapy with a client-centered focus, and she incorporates mindfulness tools when they are helpful.
