About Marimar
Marimar Rosa Monge is a California-based licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, and family-related concerns. Marimar speaks English and Spanish and makes time to listen without judgment.

Background and approach
Marimar blends several evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person. She often uses methods that teach coping skills, improve communication, and reduce overwhelming emotions. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, so people leave with techniques they can try between appointments.
Her work addresses a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including postpartum depression, feelings of abandonment, isolation, and issues tied to aging. She also helps people facing guilt, shame, and problems with impulsivity or codependency. People who choose Marimar can expect straightforward conversation and practical strategies.
She aims to make therapy feel useful from the start and to help people build clearer direction and steadier coping over time.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Marimar commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice stress without getting swept up by it.Finding the best approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily routines, and then recommend tools to try. The plan can change as needs shift, keeping the work practical and focused on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video works well for longer therapy sessions and face-to-face connection. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates, ask quick questions, or check in between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
