About Marisa

Marisa Pieri works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and self esteem by focusing on practical steps people can use day to day. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and brings three years of professional experience. Marisa is credentialed NCPS in the United Kingdom and speaks English.

She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and find clearer ways of coping. Sessions often include talking through recent difficulties, setting small achievable goals, and practising simple skills between meetings. The emphasis is on what people can do differently rather than on labels.

Marisa also supports issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and communication problems. She has experience with substance and alcohol concerns, domestic violence, separation and divorce, and personality-related struggles such as avoidant, dependent and antisocial traits. This range shapes practical, problem-focused conversations.

The counsellor works from the belief that each person knows their own story best and already has strengths to build on. She aims to help people use those strengths to manage stress, rebuild confidence and improve relationships. Sessions are straightforward and action-orientated.

To begin, people are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling

Marisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and teaching measurable coping skills to reduce anxiety and stress; this helps with everyday worries and panic-type symptoms. Another approach concentrates on behavioural strategies and relapse prevention for addictions, which involves planning for triggers, building alternative routines, and practising small changes to strengthen control over substance use.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and make decisions together based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to what feels most useful in real life and to adjust them as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If international arrangements are needed, discuss practical times and any time-zone issues when scheduling.
