About Marimar

Marimar Rosa Monge is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult family situations. She also supports those working on self esteem, anger, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Marimar builds a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard right now. She focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can try small changes between sessions. Conversations often include skill building for managing strong emotions and tools for better communication.

Her work draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address patterns of thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and narrative approaches are also part of her toolbox to help people reflect on their stories and notice the present moment. Motivational interviewing is used to support readiness for change.

Marimar often helps with issues linked to chronic health conditions, postpartum depression, trauma, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also supports people coping with abandonment worries, codependency, or life purpose questions. The emphasis is on practical steps and achievable goals.

People who come for therapy can expect a collaborative process. Marimar works together with each person to set goals and track progress. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Marimar commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and help with stress and chronic pain.

She views the choice of approach as a collaborative process. During early sessions she and the client will talk about goals, try a few techniques, and decide together which methods fit best. This means therapy can shift as needs and preferences change.

For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people find sitting for a focused session by video supports learning skills, while others prefer a quicker phone check-in when bandwidth or time is tighter. The therapist will discuss which arrangement works best when setting up appointments.
