Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Marisa listens carefully and helps clients make small, manageable changes that add up over time. Her work has included support for people dealing with abandonment, attachment challenges and issues linked to adoption or foster care.
She also has experience with communication difficulties, co-dependency, and the long-term effects of domestic violence and trauma. Marisa has helped people with drug and alcohol addiction and with personality-related struggles such as avoidant, dependent and antisocial traits. She also supports those navigating divorce, blended family tensions and control or confidence issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Marisa accepts international clients. Her background and approach are practical and person-centred, aimed at helping people find clearer direction and steadier day-to-day coping.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Marisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a clear, practical way. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and stress. This method teaches simple skills people can use daily to manage worry and improve mood.Another approach concentrates on building safe attachment and addressing abandonment or attachment issues. It helps people notice relationship patterns, practise new ways of communicating, and feel more confident in connections with others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the problem and the person's comfort level. The plan is adjusted as progress is made so the approach stays helpful and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is needed. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or camera use is unwanted. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping tips, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and different time zones.
