Marisol Vigil, LCSW - Therapist in California

About Marisol

Marisol Vigil is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, plainspoken support. She uses straightforward talk and down-to-earth tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, and parenting challenges. Sessions aim to build confidence and momentum so clients can move through life changes with more ease.

Marisol believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. She meets clients where they are and helps them test small, doable steps toward change.

Background and approach

Conversations are collaborative and paced to what feels comfortable for the client. Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on client-centered skills to follow each person’s priorities and emotions.

Emotion-focused ideas are used when relationships or attachment patterns come up in sessions. Marisol has three years of professional experience in California as an LCSW, which means Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She offers a mix of evening and weekend appointment times to fit busy schedules.

One weekday afternoon slot is available as phone-only. Therapy often involves learning small habits, practicing new ways of talking about problems, and trying experiments between sessions. Marisol supports clients through setbacks and helps celebrate progress along the way.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the client. The therapist provides empathy and reflection to help clients clarify goals and feel heard, which can be useful for parenting stress and low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that increase anxiety or get in the way of work and relationships. It often involves simple exercises and experiments to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and shift difficult interaction patterns and attachment-related feelings. When relationship dynamics or family issues come up, these ideas guide conversations about needs and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marisol will help clients decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use the different formats to practice skills, check in between sessions, and keep momentum toward goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
