Marisa Chiuchiolo

Marisa Chiuchiolo is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and family conflict. She also supports those working on self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Marisa works in English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps toward change easier for you.

Her approach focuses on adapting conversations and plans to each person. She listens with sensitivity and respect, then builds a plan that fits your needs. Sessions concentrate on practical steps you can try between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep you stuck.

Marisa has five years of professional experience and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. She addresses concerns such as mood changes, chronic health stress, caregiver strain, attachment and abandonment worries, and difficulty with communication or control. She also supports people navigating divorce and separation and those carrying guilt, shame, or isolation.

Therapy with Marisa tends to be collaborative and strengths-focused. She helps people set small, achievable goals and checks in on progress. Her aim is to empower people to make clearer choices and feel more confident in day-to-day life.

To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them so sessions can match those priorities. The focus is on steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes, with attention to the practical challenges life brings.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Marisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ideas in real life to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationship patterns by practicing new ways of speaking and responding to others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try techniques that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you progress. Clients and therapist work together to find what helps most for daily challenges and major transitions.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats also make brief progress updates or shorter check-ins easier to schedule when life gets hectic.
