Marisol Vigil

Marisol Vigil is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in California. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, and coping with life changes. Marisol speaks English and Spanish and emphasizes a supportive, person-centered approach.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths into therapy. Sessions center on listening, clearing priorities, and building small steps that fit everyday life. Marisol frames goals around what matters most to the client and helps make progress feel manageable.

Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and emotionally-focused techniques. That means conversations about how thoughts, feelings, and relationships connect, along with practical skill-building. She also integrates mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find meaning and steady routines during transitions.

Marisol has three years of professional experience and offers weekend and late evening appointments. A 3:00 pm weekday session is phone only, so scheduling will reflect that option.

Clients describe practical pacing, direct guidance, and an emphasis on empowerment as the thread of sessions. She supports work on attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication and control issues, forgiveness, and related challenges. Therapy is collaborative and geared toward usable changes.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. This process helps align goals, timing, and language preference before the first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are. In sessions the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters, and helps people set their own goals. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying priorities during times of stress or change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and skill oriented. It looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and introduces steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, and everyday coping skills.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand emotional responses and improve how they relate to others. It supports work on attachment, abandonment concerns, communication patterns, and deep emotional shifts that affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow late evening or weekend appointments, and reduce commute time. Some sessions are shorter check-ins and others are longer, with flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules.
