About Marisol
Marisol Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and changes that feel overwhelming. Her style is respectful and straightforward, aimed at helping someone take the next small step forward.
Clients can expect sessions that center their needs and goals. Marisol uses a person-centered approach that keeps the conversation focused on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
She pairs that with cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior techniques and mindfulness practices are available when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. She works with concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and relationship or family problems.
Career struggles, anger, bipolar-related issues, and coping after disasters are also listed areas of focus. Marisol pays attention to how attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems affect daily life. Sessions are shaped to the person rather than a fixed manual.
That can mean short-term solution-focused conversations or longer work on patterns that keep repeating. Motivational interviewing strategies are used when someone needs help finding and keeping momentum toward change. Marisol aims for clear, usable steps each week.
She values plain language, practical tools, and a calm, nonjudgmental tone during sessions. People who want a mix of emotional support and concrete strategies often find this approach helpful.
Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s own goals and experiences at the center of each session. It means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to find what feels most useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to build clearer coping steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and handling relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide whether to prioritize short-term problem solving, skill-building, or deeper pattern work, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break in a workday or if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
