About Marisol

Marisol Vigil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Marisol takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She listens to each person's story and helps them notice which patterns get in the way. Together they identify practical steps for managing anxiety, building confidence, or handling a shifting role at work or home.

Her work often includes looking at attachment and abandonment concerns that affect relationships and self-worth. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and issues around commitment, control, or communication. Marisol brings several clinical approaches into her work to match the person's needs and goals.

Clients who prefer flexible hours may find evening or weekend options useful. The biography notes that 3:00pm weekday sessions are phone only, and that evenings and weekends are offered. Before booking, readers should confirm current session arrangements and formats.

Marisol describes people as the experts of their own stories and focuses on strengths when planning next steps. Her style is practical and respectful, with attention to goals like improved coping, clearer communication, and steadier self-esteem.

How Marisol Uses EFT, Client-Centered Work, and CBT Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that underlie relationship or attachment patterns. It can help when people feel stuck by fears of abandonment or by intense emotions that are hard to describe. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so a person can better understand their own perspective and strengths. This approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marisol will discuss these methods with each person and decide collaboratively which fits best for the issue at hand, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats beyond a note about some phone-only weekday slots, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, scheduling around work, using a shorter phone check-in when time is limited, or choosing evening appointments. Licensed professionals commonly adapt pace and exercises to what works in a virtual setting, and Marisol will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule a first session to make therapy fit your routine.
