About Marisol
Marisol Cruz is a bilingual counselor who offers support in English and Spanish. She holds licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and has five years of experience as a mental health counselor. Marisol focuses on clear, practical help for everyday struggles.
Her sessions begin with a check-in about what is on the client's mind. She then helps people set a main goal for that session and works step by step toward meeting it.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and compassionate, and she aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly. Marisol uses straightforward techniques to manage anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, substance use concerns, and issues with self-esteem.
ADHD, career questions, and life transitions are also within her scope of focus. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That combination helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and stay motivated for progress.
Sessions can include skill practice, short experiments between meetings, and reflection on what worked. Clients can expect a practical, goal-oriented style with gentle encouragement. Marisol emphasizes working together to set realistic steps.
She communicates in both English and Spanish and practices from Indiana.
Using CBT, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing Online
Marisol draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves noticing thought patterns, testing them with small experiments, and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients develop attention and calm. Mindfulness work teaches simple practices for noticing feelings and physical sensations, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is used when people feel stuck or unsure about change. This approach focuses on the person's own reasons for change and helps build confidence to try small steps toward goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust plans together based on what helps most. Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, ask quick questions, or reflect in writing. These options help fit counseling into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping focus on practical progress.Questions people ask
