About Maurissa
Maurissa McCulloch is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with people who are carrying heavy feelings around stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, intimacy, parenting, and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to attachment issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, sexuality, and women’s issues.
She approaches work plainly. She treats the person as the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversations about what is happening now and what the client wants to change.
Maurissa listens for patterns that keep a person stuck, such as old attachment habits or ongoing shame. She helps people talk through those patterns and try different ways of relating to themselves and others. That can look like setting small goals, testing new behaviors, or reflecting on how past experiences shape present choices.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. The client’s values and wishes guide what is tried next. Progress is measured in concrete steps rather than vague promises.
Maurissa adapts to the person sitting in front of her. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, so a worried person can leave with something to try before the next meeting. Her work is focused on helping people carry less guilt and shame and find clearer ways forward.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Maurissa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and behavior, then developing small experiments to try new ways of responding. This is useful for anxiety, intimacy issues, and attachment concerns.Another approach involves working directly with feelings of guilt and shame by naming the feelings, exploring their origins, and testing different self-relating practices. That helps people see how past messages affect present behavior and offers alternative responses to try.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maurissa works with clients to decide which techniques match their goals and preferences. She adapts plans based on what is helpful and adjusts pace according to the client’s needs.
