About Marisa

Marisa Pieri is a counsellor credentialed with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She also supports those working on confidence and motivation.

Marisa believes the client knows their own story and brings strengths to sessions. She listens for practical steps clients can try between appointments. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, manageable steps towards those goals.

Her background includes helping people cope with substance concerns and relationship breakdowns, and supporting those affected by trauma and abuse. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety and related worries in everyday life. Marisa pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment experiences can shape current reactions.

In meetings she talks through triggers, builds simple strategies for handling moments of high stress, and works on communication skills for strained relationships. She also helps people explore problems connected to adoption and foster care, codependency, and blended family dynamics. The focus is on clear, practical tools rather than lengthy theory.

Marisa accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, people follow the site process to match with her, then schedule an initial appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Evidence-informed approaches and online care

Marisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce anxiety and strengthen coping. Cognitive approaches focus on recognising unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments; these help with social fears and repetitive worry. Skills-based strategies teach practical tools for stress management, grounding, and pacing, which can ease overwhelming moments and support recovery from substance-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marisa collaborates with clients to identify which methods suit their goals and preferences, adjusting plans as progress is made. The focus is on trying techniques together and checking what helps most in everyday life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for addressing social anxiety because they can start from a familiar setting while working on real-life exposure and communication skills.
