About Marisol
Marisol Vigil is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She supports those facing career strain, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to accommodate different comfort levels.
Marisol believes clients are the experts in their own stories. She listens first and then helps people name goals that feel achievable. Her approach centers on building on strengths and teaching practical skills that can be used between sessions.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to address unhelpful thoughts and build emotional regulation. Emotionally focused strategies are used to improve communication and connection when relationships or parenting feel strained. Existential ideas help people find meaning during life transitions.
Marisol has three years of professional experience as an LCSW in California. She offers evening and weekend appointments to fit different schedules, and notes that some weekday afternoon slots are phone-only. The session formats include video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.
People who reach out can expect a supportive, down-to-earth therapist who focuses on clear steps and steady progress. She helps clients break problems into manageable parts and practice small changes that add up over time.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps set goals that feel right. This method works well for anxiety and self-esteem because it starts with what matters most to the person.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying helpful and unhelpful thoughts and then testing practical changes. It teaches skills to manage anxiety, change behavior, and break cycles of worry in short, concrete steps.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and use that clarity to improve communication and connection. It is useful for parenting strain and relationship-related stress where feelings and interaction patterns matter.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adjust based on a client's goals, preferences, and response to techniques. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be changed if something does not fit.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client see nonverbal cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions work when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for short check-ins, between-session support, and clients who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and ongoing life demands.
