About Marizol
Marizol Urbieta-Cortez helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and problems in relationships. She also supports those coping with life changes and people feeling emptiness, isolation, or a lack of purpose. Marizol speaks English and Spanish and practices in California as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first, then shapes conversations and goals around each person's needs.
How Marizol works
Sessions aim to build motivation, improve communication, and strengthen day-to-day coping skills. Marizol uses clear tools rather than jargon so people can use what they learn right away. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the work collaborative and respectful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more helpful actions. Mindfulness exercises are offered to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment awareness. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change, and solution-focused work keeps sessions goal-directed and efficient.
Together these approaches support progress on issues like forgiveness, self-love, and building confidence. Marizol frames therapy as a step-by-step process. She will tailor conversations and a plan to an individual's situation and pace.
The focus is on small, doable changes that add up to meaningful improvement.

Approach options and online therapy
Marizol uses Client-Centered Therapy to make the work collaborative and respectful, helping people feel heard and guiding them to set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses patterns of thinking and behavior, offering clear exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaboration helps ensure the work feels useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let conversations feel more personal when face-to-face contact matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when a video connection is not possible or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, or when a shorter, written format fits a busy day. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit sessions into work, school, or caregiving routines.
