About Marisa

Marisa Pieri is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and an NCPS credential. She focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Marisa writes simply and clearly with a practical approach that aims to make first steps feel achievable.

She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and brings that belief into sessions. Conversations are aimed at spotting existing strengths and building small, workable changes. Marisa offers calm, straightforward support for people who want more motivation, confidence or relief from persistent worries.

Her work includes helping people manage addictive behaviours and navigate the emotional fallout of separation, divorce or family change. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and issues linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. Sessions can include talk, practical problem-solving and planning for next steps.

Marisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all method. She encourages collaboration so goals are clear and progress can be measured in everyday life. The overall aim is to increase coping skills, reduce distress, and restore a sense of control.

To begin, readers are invited to consider what they most want to change and how small, steady steps could lead to better days. Marisa presents a supportive space for people ready to try a different way of handling long-standing problems.

How evidence-based approaches fit with online therapy

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical steps that can be used in everyday life. One common approach uses structured conversations to identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with more helpful habits; this method suits problems like anxiety, stress and low mood. Another approach works on building coping skills and relapse prevention for addictive behaviours, helping people spot triggers and plan alternative responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and preferences. This means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than applying a fixed programme.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments. It can reduce travel time and let people schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone or other arrangements are offered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt evidence-based techniques to remote formats while focusing on practical outcomes and day-to-day improvements.
