Welcom to my page! Thank you for being here :).
My approach is about helping people make room for change in their lives. My personal and professional journey has centered on transformation and growth in people. I believe that our experiences and traumas are a result social interactions in our daily environments. This belief informs my therapeutic style, which tends to be collaborative, casual and conversational. While therapy is typically viewed as deep and serious, I think it should be cathartic and enjoyable.
My focus is on how people can negotiate relationships and daily environments in a way that is healthy and minimizes harm to themselves and others. These environments include, but are not limited to the following: home, school, work, social media, the public, family, spirituality, etc. Therapy is a major step toward taking responsibility for oneself and their space in the world.
My effectiveness lies in my intuitive skills and awareness of how our sociopolitical landscapes affect our lives. This includes the influences of social media, popular culture, and the current financial and political climate. Nothing happens in a vacuum and no one is truly alone.
Ultimately, I strive to make the experience invaluable. That means making sure clients implement the skills to address their issues and see marked improvement in their lives.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Ciara is a great listener and asks insightful questions. She is intelligent, empathetic and perceptive. I feel incredibly comfortable speaking with her and would highly recommend her.
Ciara is great. She is easy to talk to. I feel like she lets you work through some things mostly by encouraging you talk it out, with some timely questions, observations or suggestions sprinkled in. I find it effective.
Ciara is a wonderful therapist. She has helped me work through so much. She has also continued to help me find effective ways of coping with stress. Highly recommend her!
I have enjoyed going on therapy with Ciara. She set a positive and benevolent environment where I felt comfortable opening up. I have always felt at the end of each session refilled in energy, motivation and new tools to help me facing life struggles
She’s really caring and nice, she’s funny and makes it easier to talk I’m glad I get to solve my complicated problems with someone so understanding and hope with our work together we can fix my messed up life
She is a good counselor, who asks what specifically you wish to get out of the experience and tailors the experience to you! Not at all clinical but very friendly while still holding you accountable.
Great listener and seeks to understand and uncover root causes of ailments. Highly recommend.
Ciara is amazing, I feel very supported and am feeling that with her help I’m finally moving in the right direction with my life. I’d definitely recommend Ciara and BetterHelp to anyone.
Ciara has an amazing ability to ask questions that speak to the heart of the problem.
My sessions with Ciara Pierce just felt like a good heart to heart with a very perceptive friend. It was cathartic and I felt heard, understood and came out of it with a better understanding of myself and lots to think about. She helps set up goals which gives me a direction to start on to improve myself.
Ciara makes me feel safe when I speak to her plus the online gig gives me the ability to share more freely without feeling judged the way I felt with in person therapy.
Ciara is friendly and down-to-earth. She is a good listener and helps me set a few things to work on each week. She has helped me focus in on some of the things that are holding me back in my life, and I feel like she has helped me reflect and make some good breakthroughs in my thinking. I would definitely recommend her.
Ciara is a very calm, friendly and firm counselor, that makes me feel very comfortable talking to her. She has a very understanding approach and with her clear questions and also affirmations she makes clear a statement that help me understand my actions a lot. She is very polite and thoughtful yet very clear and direct too.
Really appreciate the help I’ve received from Ciara. Despite talking about some heavy subjects during our sessions, I always sign off from our video calls feeling much lighter and looking forward to the rest of the week.
