About Marisa
Marisa Pieri is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and welcomes international clients.
Marisa focuses on practical, straightforward conversations that help people make small changes that matter. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are aimed at improving coping, motivation and confidence in daily life.
In her work Marisa has supported people facing a range of concerns including abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care challenges, and substance use problems. She also helps with relationship communication, separation and divorce issues, and recovery from domestic violence.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Clients can expect a mix of reflection and concrete strategies to try between sessions. Marisa emphasises steady progress rather than quick fixes and adapts tools to fit each person’s situation.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Marisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that centre on clear goals and practical steps. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different ways of responding; this helps with anxiety and low mood by offering simple exercises and behavioural experiments. Another approach emphasises building coping skills and routines to manage cravings and reduce the impact of addictions; this gives concrete actions to practise between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different techniques and decide together which fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It also makes access possible for people outside the therapist’s local area. The emphasis is on practical ways to make therapy match everyday life rather than on a single set of rules.
