Marisa Chiuchiolo, LMHC

Marisa Chiuchiolo is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with five years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Marisa also supports those coping with relationship strain, family conflict, and life transitions such as a midlife crisis.

She aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations are tailored to the individual's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. The focus is practical work that helps clients name what matters and take small, concrete steps forward.

Marisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional and practical concerns. She works with people on issues like attachment and abandonment, communication problems, guilt and shame, and struggles with life purpose. Chronic illness, caregiver stress, and financial worries are also areas she supports.

Sessions emphasize collaboration: identifying goals, trying out new ways of coping, and adjusting plans as progress is made. Marisa can help clients untangle patterns that keep them stuck and build clearer choices for daily life.

She offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To get started clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Two common evidence-based techniques used in this clinician's work are brief skills training and problem-focused therapy. Skills training teaches practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, and mood swings - for example breathing exercises, pacing activities, and step-by-step plans for difficult conversations. Problem-focused work looks at specific life problems like relationship conflicts or financial stress and breaks them into manageable tasks to try between sessions.

Another helpful method emphasizes exploring attachment and relationship patterns. This approach helps people notice repeated habits in close relationships, name where those habits come from, and test new ways of relating that feel healthier over time. It is useful for issues tied to abandonment, trust, and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means plans can change as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant.

The original profile does not list which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut commuting time, or have shorter check-in appointments when needed. It can also allow people to meet with a licensed professional from different locations, which helps when coordinating care across time zones.
