Meet Marisa Knight, LPC, LMHC-QS
Online therapist for adults in Florida & Arizona offering EMDR & attachment-informed care
Hi, I'm Marisa Knight
How many of us grew up around mental health issues or addiction that no one talked about? I did, though I didn’t have that language at the time. As a young adult, I learned how deeply substance use affects entire families, and I wanted to offer the kind of support I wish we’d had. I left a decade of teaching dance, trained as a therapist, and never looked back.
Today, I help adults make sense of past experiences that still show up now: anxiety, low mood, or patterns in relationships that won’t budge. I’m trained in EMDR (since 2015) and often weave in attachment-informed work, including support for anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles, so change sticks in everyday life.
About Therapy With Me
Therapy should feel steady and doable. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. You’ll leave with language, tools, and next steps to use between sessions. When it’s a good fit, we can integrate EMDR therapy online. Sessions are telehealth for adults in Florida and Arizona. I’m a private-pay practice; HSA/FSA are welcome, and I provide superbills if you plan to use out-of-network benefits. Finding the best online therapist for anxiety is about fit, and our consult helps us decide together.
Who I Help
- Relationship patterns tied to anxious/avoidant attachment (overthinking, jealousy, fear of abandonment)
- Trauma recovery with EMDR therapy online (when memories feel “stuck”)

How I Work

Experience
I began in substance use treatment settings, then served children and families in community care, supported unhoused individuals and families during re-entry, and worked over five years in a residential program for youth (including as Director of Admissions). I’ve maintained a private practice since 2016 and now focus on it full-time.
