Dr. Pier is truly amazing, she gave me a huge breakthrough barely on our 2nd session! Her intuition of what I needed was incredible, she honed in right away on what the root of my recurring issue is & gave me such a precise solution that I went from a 2 to an 8 in my mood rating in 1 week! I highly recommend her, don’t suffer any longer, she is worth it!

- LMFT
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in California and Nevada, with 31 years of clinical experience across many settings. Most of my work has been providing guidance and support to clients experiencing major life transitions and the overwhelming emotions that accompany major losses and changes. I have training in trauma healing and working with clients who are struggling as a result of family and/or historical trauma, substance use disorders, and depression. I have many years of practice in the areas of relationship issues, trauma, abuse, grief, and conflict resolution through mediation. I have experience in divorce, developing parenting plans, and co-parenting post divorce or dissolution, and blended family issues. I practice with respect, humility, sensitivity, and compassion for all my clients, and I welcome your stories as gateways to a new way of seeing yourself.

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.
