Marisa Pieri

Marisa Pieri is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Marisa encourages clients to recognise their own strengths and to take the steps they need to feel better. She presents therapy as a collaborative process and offers steady support during change.

Marisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build practical coping skills. Sessions focus on clear, manageable goals such as reducing anxiety, improving communication, or finding healthier ways to manage substance use. She uses straightforward conversation and exercises to help people practise new responses outside sessions.

Her work also attends to related areas that often come up in therapy, such as attachment and abandonment concerns, challenges linked to adoption and foster care, and the effects of domestic violence. Marisa is familiar with issues connected to autism and Asperger syndrome, personality-related difficulties, and co-occurring problems like codependency and control struggles.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful approach that values their perspective. Marisa aims to help people build confidence and motivation while respecting each person’s pace. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

To begin, prospective clients follow the platform’s Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they book sessions according to the therapist’s availability and subscription terms.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Many of the evidence-based techniques Marisa uses focus on practical skills and clear goals. One common approach teaches anxiety management through breathing, grounding and graduated exposure to feared situations; it helps reduce day-to-day worry and avoidance. Another approach emphasises building healthier coping and relapse prevention strategies for people dealing with drug or alcohol use, with step-by-step plans for handling triggers and cravings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marisa collaborates with each person to choose and adapt techniques based on their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods if something is not helping, so therapy remains a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or by allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online sessions to maintain momentum between appointments and to practise new skills in real-world routines.
