About Marimar

Marimar Rosa Monge is a California-based licensed clinical social worker who has spent a decade helping people through hard emotional times. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and family conflict. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable and relevant to each person she sees.

Her work often centers on building practical skills for coping with life changes and improving communication. She uses mindfulness alongside other talking therapies to help people reduce reactivity and notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions emphasize simple tools people can try between meetings.

Marimar also supports people facing complex issues such as postpartum depression, chronic illness or pain, and feelings of shame, abandonment, or isolation. She helps clients sort through relationship dynamics and questions about life purpose without judgment. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her approach mixes structured techniques and collaborative conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools appear alongside motivational interviewing and narrative work when helpful. Treatment plans are shaped together so goals match each person’s needs and values.

Marimar’s style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and try small, concrete changes. Her goal is to help clients feel more capable of facing daily challenges and making choices that reflect their priorities.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Marimar uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people become more present and less reactive to strong emotions. Mindfulness practices are simple exercises in noticing thoughts, bodily sensations, and breath, and they can help with anxiety, stress, and mood swings.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT breaks problems into small parts and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotion regulation, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions are more practical for everyday life.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
