About Marisol
Marisol Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and motivation problems. Marisol also helps people who are coping with major life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is person-centered and interactive. Sessions focus on the individual and what matters most to them. She treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while keeping goals in view.
How Marisol works
Marisol combines several practical approaches in therapy. She uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and coping tools.
She also incorporates mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to build awareness and boost motivation for change. Therapy is tailored to the person's goals and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Typical sessions include talking through current struggles, learning concrete skills, and setting small steps to try between meetings.
Marisol aims to make therapy feel collaborative and useful for day-to-day life. She encourages people who are ready to take a step toward feeling better to begin the process.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their goals at the center of sessions, focusing on listening, respect, and working at the client's pace. This approach helps people who need space to tell their story and shape priorities for change.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as new challenges or progress emerge.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapy into a busy life.
