About Marisa
Counsellor Marisa Pieri is registered with NCPS and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and low self esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Marisa focuses on clear, practical conversations. She helps people name what is causing strain and identify steps they can try between sessions. She offers a steady, straightforward approach rather than technical jargon.
Her background includes work with addiction concerns, communication problems, attachment issues and struggles linked to adoption and foster care. She has also supported people dealing with divorce, domestic violence, and co-morbidity of mental health and substance use problems. This range gives her experience with both immediate practical needs and longer-term patterns.
Marisa works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, control and dependent personality patterns. She has seen people with autism and Asperger syndrome and those with antisocial or avoidant personality traits. That experience helps when conversations need to adapt to different ways of thinking and relating.
Practical arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session can then be scheduled via the See online counselling options button.
Evidence-based approaches and online counselling
Marisa describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach she uses focuses on identifying current thoughts and behaviours that maintain stress and anxiety, then trying practical steps to change them. This approach suits people who want clear strategies to reduce day-to-day symptoms. Another approach she may use looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. It helps people see how past experiences shape current reactions and then practise different ways of communicating and relating. That can be useful for relationship strain, codependency and issues linked to adoption or abandonment. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marisa will discuss different ways of working and decide together which fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Online sessions can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera if that helps.
