About Marisol
She leans on client-centered work to build trust and on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-focused techniques are used when relationship feelings and attachment patterns come into play. That mix helps people tackle self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes including midlife transitions.
Sessions often include straightforward skill practice. A client might watch how thoughts affect mood, try a new way of responding to conflict, or experiment with small behavior changes between meetings. Marisol describes clients as the experts on their own lives and offers guidance to amplify strengths and choices.
Her background includes three years of professional practice in community and clinical settings in California. She has worked with concerns such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, commitment issues, and communication problems. This range informs practical strategies tailored to current life demands.
Marisol offers weekend and late evening appointments to fit busy schedules. She notes that her 3:00 pm weekday sessions are phone only, so people can plan around work or caregiving responsibilities.

How Marisol’s Approaches Work Online
Marisol combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to address everyday problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to sort out values and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and gives clear exercises to change patterns that increase stress or anxiety.She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when attachment and close relationships matter. Those techniques help people notice emotions, name them, and try new ways of responding in important relationships or when feeling disconnected during life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, comfort level, and daily rhythm. That might mean a mix of reflective conversation, skill practice, and short between-session tasks to test new ways of coping.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow weekend or late evening appointments, reduce commuting time, and enable shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for remote work so progress continues even when life feels hectic.
