About Marisol
Marisol Vigil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career struggles, and coping with life changes. She works in both English and Spanish.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She also integrates mindfulness and existential perspectives to address meaning, values, and present-moment coping.
Her work often begins by identifying immediate stressors and practical patterns to change. That can mean mapping daily routines, spotting thought habits that fuel anxiety, or practicing short mindfulness exercises. Sessions aim to be concrete and actionable so people can try things between meetings and report back what worked.
Marisol supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and relationship communication problems. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, hoarding, and difficulties after divorce or separation.
She notes the client as expert in their own life and treats therapy as collaborative problem solving. People who want clear steps, focused skill practice, and check-ins on progress may find this approach useful. The goal is to help people change patterns that get in the way of daily functioning and satisfaction.
How cognitive and relational approaches work online
Marisol draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns that increase stress or anxiety and to practice new responses. CBT sessions focus on specific skills and small experiments to change how problems feel in daily life.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and reflecting so a person’s priorities and pace guide the work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to map emotional responses and improve how someone notices and names feelings in important relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marisol will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean starting with CBT skill work, then adding mindfulness or emotionally-focused tools as questions change.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the original biography does not specify formats. Ask about available ways to meet and choose the option that fits daily life best. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, or use a shorter phone check-in when needed.
