About Marisol

Marisol Vigil is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness practices to support improvements in mood, confidence, and day-to-day coping.

Background and approach

Marisol frames clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on building strengths and skills that foster longer-term change. Her work encompasses a range of concerns including parenting challenges, self-esteem and career struggles, as well as additional issues such as abandonment, attachment, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and relationship separations.

With three years of professional experience in California, she offers weekday and weekend appointment times and notes that 3:00 pm weekday sessions are offered by phone only. Marisol provides services in English and Spanish and aims to create a collaborative environment where clients feel supported while developing practical strategies to reach their goals.

Integrating evidence-informed approaches in online care

Marisol often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety and stress. This approach emphasizes concrete strategies and homework that can be practiced between sessions to produce measurable changes in daily functioning.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship and supports clients in finding their own solutions. That approach is useful for exploring values, motivation, and confidence while fostering a collaborative therapeutic alliance.

Finding the best fit is part of the work together; Marisol will collaborate with clients to choose or blend approaches based on each person’s goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. She treats the selection of methods as a process to refine, adjusting strategies as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. The range of formats makes it easier to maintain consistency with appointments, try shorter check-ins, or use different communication styles as therapy progresses, supporting access and convenience for clients in California.
