About Marisa
Marisa Pieri is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and the NCPS credential. She focuses on work that helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, and rebuild confidence and self-esteem. Marisa emphasises a practical, down-to-earth style and sees people as the experts in their own lives.
She helps people who are struggling with relationship strain, the effects of trauma and abuse, and problems that affect daily motivation. Marisa also works with concerns linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and communication problems. She supports people facing separation, domestic violence histories, and substance issues, while also addressing personality-related patterns and co-morbid difficulties.
In sessions she treats clients as partners in the work. Conversations focus on clear goals, small steps and skills to try between meetings. Marisa listens for strengths and builds on what is already working in a person’s life, while gently challenging unhelpful patterns.
Her approach is practical and tailored to the individual, with attention to how work, family roles and daily routines interact with mental health. Marisa values steady progress over quick fixes and offers straightforward suggestions that people can use right away.
If you are thinking about starting therapy she encourages a short initial conversation to see if her way of working fits your needs and priorities.
How evidence-based methods work in online therapy
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and changing patterns that cause distress. One common approach teaches breathing and grounding exercises, behavioural experiments and step-by-step coping strategies that help reduce anxiety and manage stress in daily life. These techniques are useful for people facing workplace pressure or overwhelming day-to-day demands.Another approach targets problematic behaviour patterns and motivation by breaking goals into small, achievable actions and tracking progress. This kind of work is helpful for addictions, low motivation, and rebuilding confidence after setbacks. It aims to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify priorities, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaboration helps ensure the approach matches the person’s goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow people to check in from different locations. It can also offer shorter or more frequent contacts when needed to maintain momentum between longer sessions.
