About
Hi! I'm Marissa Kent, licensed professional counselor (LPC). I work with clients across the state of Mississippi via telehealth. I specialize in helping young adults overcome toxic cycles and the trauma caused by them so they can build better relationships with themselves and others. Understanding your story leaves me better equipped to support you in working through life's challenges and achieving personal growth. My approach My approach to therapy is an eclectic mix: we'll talk about your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes and how they affect your actions (CBT). You'll gain a deeper understanding of your emotions and learn to accept even the most difficult feelings (DBT). We'll focus on self-care as a whole: mind, body, and spirit (holistic therapy). Ultimately, how we structure your therapeutic journey will be as unique as you are. My focus I help individuals and couples who long to be happy again and have relationships that actually add value to their lives. You'll be equipped with the tools you need to effectively cope with anxiety and depression, better understand yourself (and your partner), and be the most confident version of you. My communication style Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is authentic and relatable, because therapy should be a place where you feel safe and understood. Sessions with me provide the comfort of conversation with an old friend & the results of working with a trained professional. My journey to mental healthcare I got into the field of counseling because I love helping people. There are few things better than seeing someone reach a goal or fulfill their potential. I'd love to be of service to you as you embark on this phase of your life's adventure. My goals for you I'll follow your lead. Whatever areas of need you identify as being most important or most impactful for you, will be the area of focus.
