About Maurissa
Maurissa McCulloch is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting, and coping with life changes. Maurissa meets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to handle personal and relationship strains at home.
She works in a straightforward, collaborative way. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. In sessions she listens, asks practical questions, and coaches on concrete steps to try between meetings.
Maurissa often addresses attachment issues, guilt and shame, and questions of sexuality and self-love. She also spends time with clients who are sorting out life purpose or dealing with women’s issues. Conversations mix feeling-focused talk with problem-solving and goal-setting.
Expect a calm pace and a focus on usable skills. Topics brought from everyday life - parenting stresses, intimacy worries, or changes in identity - are discussed plainly. The therapist helps break big problems into smaller, manageable tasks and tracks progress over time.
Her approach is meant for adults navigating personal and household strains who want steady, practical support. People who prefer clear steps and reflection together may find this style helpful.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Many clients benefit from a mix of evidence-based techniques that focus on feelings and on action. One common approach involves working with attachment patterns to understand how early relationships shape current reactions; this can help when intimacy or trust feel difficult. Another approach uses skills-based work for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and planning strategies to break down overwhelming moments into manageable steps.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
