About Marisol
Marisol Cruz is a bilingual licensed therapist practicing in Indiana. She holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). Marisol brings five years of experience as a mental health counselor alongside a long background in school counseling.
She speaks English and Spanish and offers support for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Her sessions focus on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Early meetings start with what is on the client’s mind and then move toward one clear goal for the session. She uses straightforward, goal-focused conversation and practical tools to help people cope and make changes in daily life. Marisol commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She also draws from mindfulness practices to help clients manage stress and stay present. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change and needs support finding the next step. She works with adults across issues such as parenting stress, family tension, relationship challenges, self-esteem, substance use, ADHD, and career concerns.
Sessions aim to be compassionate and nonjudgmental so clients can speak honestly about what’s hard. Marisol combines experience and clear steps to help clients move forward. Practical matters are handled plainly: sessions are available by video, phone, chat, or text messaging.
Marisol accepts international clients and helps clients who prefer English or Spanish communicate their needs.
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Marisol uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep problems repeating. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with day-to-day stress and emotional overwhelm.Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each client to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust as progress is made. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, with focus on small, achievable steps tailored to the person’s situation.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are convenient on the go, and chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins and between-session contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into family life, work, and other commitments while still using the therapist’s clinical approaches.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
