About Marisol
Marisol Vigil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. Marisol speaks English and Spanish and lists a range of related areas she addresses, such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
She uses straightforward, person-centered methods. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the client. Then she and the client identify practical steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Techniques may include cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness exercises to manage difficult thoughts and intense feelings.
Marisol also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to help people notice and change patterns that keep them stuck. She brings existential questions into the conversation when clients want to clarify values, meaning, or direction in life. Her work emphasizes collaboration and small, achievable changes rather than grand plans.
For scheduling, she offers weekends and late evening times. She notes that her 3:00 pm weekday appointments are phone sessions only. Readers should confirm current session options and times before booking to ensure they match their needs.
People looking for help with parenting strain, career decisions, or coping after a life change will find a practical, conversational approach. Marisol aims to help clients build skills they can use between sessions and to support steady progress over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. Online sessions use that same basic stance: the therapist listens closely, helps organize concerns, and supports the client in deciding next steps. This approach helps with parenting stress and everyday emotional struggles by keeping attention on the client's priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In online work this often looks like brief skill practice between sessions, thought records, and problem-solving aimed at reducing anxiety or improving mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice patterns in feelings and interactions and try different responses; used online, it can clarify what keeps upsetting emotions active and offer ways to change those cycles.
Deciding on an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as progress is made. That collaborative stance helps keep sessions grounded and relevant to day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not fully specified here. Note one detail she provides: the 3:00 pm weekday slot is phone only, and she offers evenings and weekends. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, support shorter phone check-ins when needed, and allow homework or exercises that sit between sessions.
