About Marizol
Marizol Urbieta-Cortez is a California licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self esteem, depression, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. Her approach is respectful and compassionate. She aims to make the first step feel achievable for people ready to try something different.
In sessions she focuses on understanding each person's unique situation before suggesting steps forward. Conversations are tailored to the individual's needs and goals. She works with practical tools to build confidence, manage worry, and improve communication in close relationships.
Marizol uses techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices. That means she listens first, helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and teaches ways to stay present with hard feelings. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to set achievable short-term goals.
People often come to her wanting more self-love, clearer life purpose, or relief from loneliness and emptiness. She also addresses issues such as domestic violence, forgiveness, and problems with motivation. The therapy process emphasizes small, practical changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Sessions are set up to reflect each person's pace and readiness. Marizol aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental partner while people build new habits and perspectives. She encourages straightforward planning and follow-through so progress is visible over time.
