About Marisol
Marisol Vigil is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with three years of professional experience. She works in English and Spanish and focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, and coping with life changes.
She takes a client-centered approach that starts by listening to each person’s story. Sessions focus on practical steps and the client’s own strengths. Marisol aims to help people feel more capable and confident as they face difficult decisions or transitions.
Her work often includes tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to manage stress and on emotionally-focused ideas to strengthen important relationships. These approaches are used to address issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, and communication problems.
Marisol has supported people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, divorce or separation, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She also assists those handling career uncertainty, commitment worries, hoarding, and first responder-related strains. Her style emphasizes collaboration and clear, manageable goals.
She offers weekend and late evening appointments, and some weekday afternoon sessions by phone. People who choose to work with her are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit into online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist focuses on understanding what matters most to the person and building on existing strengths to handle stress, parenting concerns, or career decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It offers hands-on exercises and practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns often linked to anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a joint process, and approaches can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow late evening or weekend appointments, and make it easier to keep regular progress. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins or when lower bandwidth is needed. Licensed professionals and therapists will help plan how therapy fits into everyday life without promising a specific format.
