About Marisa
Marisa Pieri is a counsellor with three years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, relationship concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Marisa aims to help clients build confidence and improve self-esteem through practical conversations and steady support.
She begins by listening to each person’s story and recognising the strengths they already have. Marisa treats clients as the expert in their own life and partners with them to set practical goals. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and clearer ways of coping with difficult feelings.
Her work covers a broad range of concerns including issues linked to abandonment, attachment, codependency, communication problems, and drug and alcohol addiction. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care histories, blended family stress, and separation or divorce.
Marisa describes her approach as evidence based and grounded in straightforward, real-world tools. She aims to help clients understand patterns that cause repeated stress and then try different strategies to change those patterns. The emphasis is on learning skills that can be used between sessions.
For people who are unsure where to start, Marisa offers a calm, non-judgemental way to talk things through. She encourages small steps, steady progress, and practical solutions that fit everyday life.
How evidence based techniques translate to online therapy
Marisa describes her work as drawing on evidence based therapeutic techniques that help people change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on learning practical coping skills to manage anxiety and stress, teaching short strategies that can be practised between sessions. Another approach targets unhelpful relationship patterns such as codependency or repeated communication problems by identifying triggers and trying different ways of responding.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to find what feels most useful for each person, considering goals, day-to-day demands, and what the client is ready to try. That process often begins with short conversations to test which tools bring relief and build confidence.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work breaks, or travel. It can also allow quieter check-ins that do not need long travel, and options like audio-only can be useful when video is not ideal. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and skill-building to suit remote work so therapy remains practical and focused on everyday change.
