Marisa Pieri, NCPS

Marisa Pieri is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and an NCPS credential. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and addictions, while also supporting those facing relationship strain, trauma and low self‑esteem. Her approach is collaborative and practical. She aims to help people find small, realistic steps toward change.

Her work often centres on building confidence and coping strategies that fit everyday life. She listens for strengths in each person’s story and uses those strengths to guide sessions. Conversations are straightforward and goal‑oriented, with attention to what feels achievable between meetings.

Marisa has supported people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties and parenting-related strain connected to adoption and foster care. She also addresses concerns linked to communication problems, codependency and control issues. For clients facing addiction, domestic violence aftermath, or separation, she focuses on safety, coping and practical planning.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with trauma responses, anxiety patterns and self‑esteem work. Sessions aim to build skills for everyday challenges such as managing triggers, reducing anxiety and improving communication. Marisa frames progress as gradual and tailored to each person’s pace.

Marisa offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to allow flexibility for different schedules and needs.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Marisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to focus on symptom reduction and practical skills building. For example, approaches that address anxiety often teach breathing and grounding exercises plus step‑by‑step exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and worry. Trauma-focused techniques typically include stabilisation strategies, pacing and approaches that help people process upsetting memories at a manageable pace.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their symptoms, goals and what feels doable. Together they select or adapt techniques and check in regularly to see what is helping and what needs changing.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or on the move. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, do brief check‑ins, or have shorter conversations when fitting therapy around work or caregiving commitments.

Registered or accredited professionals can deliver these approaches effectively online, and many people find the range of formats helpful for maintaining steady progress while balancing everyday life.
