Marisa Cahall, Ph.D.

Dr. Marisa Cahall, Ph.D., provides compassionate and evidence-based therapy to individuals and families across Ohio. She works with children, adolescents, and adults, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Dr. Cahall is committed to creating a supportive and collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and develop effective coping strategies. Whether working with a child struggling with school avoidance, a new parent facing postpartum anxiety, or an adult experiencing midlife changes, she tailors treatment to each client’s unique needs.

One of Dr. Cahall’s primary areas of focus is supporting children and families through behavioral challenges. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and parenting skills interventions to address childhood behavior issues, guiding both children and caregivers toward healthier interactions and emotional regulation. By integrating family therapy when appropriate, she helps strengthen communication and problem-solving within the home. Her approach is both structured and flexible, ensuring that treatment evolves alongside each family’s needs.

In addition to her work with children and families, Dr. Cahall specializes in helping individuals manage anxiety and depression. She works with clients of all ages to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop strategies for improving mood, building resilience, and enhancing overall wellbeing. For those experiencing grief or struggling with major life transitions, she provides a compassionate space to process emotions and find a path forward. Dr. Cahall also supports individuals dealing with postpartum depression and anxiety, offering guidance and encouragement through the challenges of early parenthood.

Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Cahall enjoys spending time with her family, baking, reading, and playing instrumental music with a local community organization. She values creativity and connection, both in her personal life and in her therapeutic practice.
