Marisa Pieri, NCPS

Approaches and online therapy that fit your needs

Marisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping. One common approach she uses helps people manage stress and anxiety by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising new ways of responding. This approach teaches short, concrete skills that can reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Another strand of her work focuses on trauma and recovery. She helps people make sense of distressing experiences and develop safety, grounding and emotion regulation strategies. These steps aim to reduce the intensity of painful memories and increase the ability to cope in the present.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals and personal preferences and then try methods that feel right. Adjustments are made along the way so the work matches what’s helpful and realistic for the person.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that’s useful, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a problem. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or ways to reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
