About Maricsa
Maricsa Evans is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Maricsa works with adults who want practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and habits and improve daily functioning.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test different responses. Maricsa also draws on mindfulness techniques to build attention skills and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her approach when people bring difficult past events into sessions.
In sessions she aims to make conversations direct and concrete. People can expect to identify specific thoughts or behaviors to work on between meetings. She helps clients create small experiments they can try in real life and then review the results together.
Maricsa pays attention to practical problems like communication breakdowns and caregiver stress, and to life questions such as purpose and self-love. She addresses issues that often come up for young adults and women while keeping the focus on each person’s immediate goals. Sessions combine skill practice, brief reflection, and planning for next steps.
People seeking therapy in California can start by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Maricsa Uses Structured Approaches in Online Sessions
Maricsa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify automatic thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT sessions are practical and often include homework exercises to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention and reduce reactivity through short practices that can be repeated daily.She treats these approaches as options to explore together. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and comfort level. This means starting with simple steps, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan based on what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking.

Online work also makes it easier to try short check-ins or focused skill practice when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and between-session tasks so they work in a client’s everyday routines.
