About Marisa
Marisa Pieri is an NCPS credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults on common early-adult concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and self-esteem. Marisa also helps people build confidence and find clearer motivation for change.
She frames sessions as collaborative conversations where the client’s experience guides the work. Marisa aims to identify practical steps alongside emotional reflection. That can mean talking through coping skills for anxiety, mapping patterns that fuel relationship difficulties, or planning how to reduce substance use over time.
Her background includes work with a wide range of related concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care experiences, communication problems, codependency and the effects of domestic violence. She also has experience with neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and with personality-related patterns that affect relationships and functioning.
Sessions are likely to focus on clear, manageable goals. Marisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She encourages clients to notice strengths they already have and to try small, practical changes between meetings.
Marisa accepts international clients and runs therapy in English. People interested in working with her are asked to use the site’s matching steps to arrange a first session and to check which session formats are currently available before booking.
Evidence-based techniques and how they work online
Marisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence, which can lower anxiety and improve decision-making. Behavioural techniques involve planning small, repeatable actions such as gradual exposure or routine changes to reduce avoidance and build confidence.Decisions about which approaches to use are made together. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. That collaborative process helps shape a practical plan, and approaches can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to attend regularly. Online meetings can be adapted to different needs - for example, shorter check-ins when time is tight, or audio-only conversations if that suits someone better. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the exact options offered before booking to ensure they suit your routine and environment.
