About Marisol

Marisol Vigil is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California who focuses on practical, person-centered support. She helps people work through stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, career issues, and the ups and downs of life transitions. Marisol works in both English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward.

She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the room. Sessions emphasize listening, reflection, and building small, doable changes. Expect a calm, respectful space where concerns are named and steps toward goals are practiced.

Marisol draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and Emotionally-Focused approaches to clarify and work with strong feelings. Mindfulness and existential ideas also inform her work when questions of meaning or present-moment noticing come up.

Her experience includes three years of clinical work in California settings. She supports people dealing with issues such as attachment and abandonment wounds, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication and control struggles, and relationship endings. Forgiveness, guilt, hoarding, and first responder stresses are also areas she has addressed.

Marisol offers evening and weekend times and notes that some weekday afternoon sessions are held by phone. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How Marisol’s Approaches Work Online

Marisol uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as primary tools. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people name what matters to them, which can be especially useful when sorting out parenting pressures or self-esteem worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which often helps with anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a few methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That teamwork helps people get clearer about next steps and stay engaged in the work.

Confirm specific session options before booking since formats were not fully specified. Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy lives because it reduces travel time, can make scheduling evening or weekend appointments simpler, and may allow a shorter phone check-in when a quick update is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote work so skill-building and emotional processing continue between sessions.
