About Marisa
Marisa Chiuchiolo is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Marisa also notes a focus on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, control issues, and guilt and shame.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps a person can take between meetings. She adapts the pace and topics to each person, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to make sessions concrete rather than abstract.
Marisa aims to help people sort through decisions, process feelings tied to relationships or past events, and address patterns that keep them stuck. She talks through how guilt or shame shows up and what people can try to respond differently. Topics often include forgiveness, boundaries, and rebuilding confidence after difficult life changes.
Her work also attends to life stressors like money worries, caregiving demands, and chronic health challenges. For someone facing midlife questions, separation, or persistent loneliness, she helps clarify priorities and next steps. Sessions include skills practice, reflective conversation, and planning for real-life situations.
Marisa offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. If a person is considering starting, she advises completing the matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to see how the approach fits their needs.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-based methods involve noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different, more balanced ways of thinking. These approaches are often used for anxiety, guilt, and low mood.Behavioral and skills-focused work targets what someone does day to day. That can include setting small goals, practicing communication skills, and trying new routines to reduce avoidance or isolation. These techniques help with relationship problems, caregiving stress, and chronic illness management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quieter or shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people continue regular work on issues like shame, communication, and mood without rearranging daily life.
