About Maricsa
Maricsa Evans is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California who draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients build practical skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Background and approach
With 12 years of clinical experience, she addresses stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions while adapting interventions to fit each person's situation and goals. Her work emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassionate support as clients explore changes they want to make.
Evans also integrates mindfulness and solution-focused strategies to strengthen coping and clarity, and she attends to related areas such as caregiver stress, communication difficulties, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, and challenges faced by young adults.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet individual needs and encouraging clients to take practical steps toward greater wellbeing. Her approach aims to empower people to develop confidence, motivation, and more satisfying relationships through skills-based work and steady support.
Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care
Maricsa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, confidence, and relationship challenges. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-moment awareness and distress tolerance, which can be useful for coping with grief, emotional reactivity, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and comfortable. This collaborative process helps ensure methods align with a client's needs, preferences, and pace while maintaining a focus on measurable progress.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to attend regularly and to apply learned skills between sessions, supporting continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not feasible.
