About Marisol

Marisol Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical work. She helps people with depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns like relationship strain, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is interactive and person-centered. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She listens to each person’s story and then helps them try different ways of thinking and acting.

Marisol uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new responses. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they help move a client toward a goal.

In a typical session she and the client set specific targets, practice skills, and review how new strategies worked during the week. Homework is practical and short so people can try changes in real life between meetings.

She has worked across a range of issues for over a decade and aims for clear, measurable steps rather than vague talk. People who want structured, skills-based work often find this approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How these therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Marisol uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions break problems into specific parts and assign small practice tasks to test new strategies in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work focused on what the client finds most important, using reflective listening and collaborative planning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be practiced between meetings.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews concerns, goals, and what has worked before, then recommends one or a mix of methods. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust methods as needed rather than sticking with a single plan from the start.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a week and let people practice skills in real settings. They can also allow shorter focused meetings when time is limited or use fuller sessions when more in-depth work is needed. Ask about scheduling, session length, and any subscription details when you set up the first appointment.
