Marissa Kent, LPC

Marissa has been a Godsend for me. We’ve been working together for a while, I can truly tell how much she cares. I feel comfortable talking to her about anything and she gives me practical advice, challenges the stories I tell myself, and has created a really safe space for me to explore the ups and downs of life.

Marissa Kent is one of the driving factors in my growth. She listens and speaks to you rather than speak down on your. She wants you to engage in the assessments to promote growth and show where you are in your journey. All in all, she approaches the sessions like a human being. You can tell she really cares.

I feel like I struck gold with my therapist Marissa! I shared my concerns, fears, and goals, and I felt like she understood exactly what I meant even when I didn’t quite know.
She always makes sure we’re on the the same page.
She was able to help me explore the deeper feelings based on what I was experiencing and guide me toward actual solutions. Her outside perspective helped me gain insight on the situations I found myself in. She’s pointed out certain areas of my growth that I didn’t even realize had happened. That moment of reflection really made me proud of myself. I really look forward to our sessions. I know I’ll be challenged but encouraged. I’m so grateful that BetterHelp connected me with Marissa.

I’ve seen a few counselors in the past, but none of actually made me feel like they care, until Marissa. Marissa does an excellent job of helping you to identify and find solutions for your challenges. She listens, checks in with you, is always on time, and is always genuinely happy to help. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner!

I joined Better Help in the hopes of dealing with not only my own personal anxiety but also some longer term questions about the viability of my current relationship. My partner and I both participated in sessions with Marissa and found her to be very kind and thoughtful; a great listener; and responsive (not only to each of us and our unique struggles but also just, generally, available and responsive to our chat messages). Grateful for Marissa’s time and help thus far and the accessibility of the Better Help platform overall.
