About Marisol

Marisol Vigil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who centers mindfulness in her work. She focuses on practical tools to reduce stress and anxiety and help people feel more capable in day-to-day life.

She helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation, and career concerns. Parenting and coping with life changes are also frequent topics in her sessions. Marisol encourages people to notice what works in their lives and to use those strengths to move forward.

Her style is collaborative and warm. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and offers guidance rooted in present-moment awareness and gentle reflection. Sessions often include exercises to notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily signals so clients can make clearer choices.

Marisol brings three years of clinical experience to appointments in California. She combines mindfulness with client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused ideas when helpful. This mix lets her tailor sessions to practical goals like better stress management, clearer communication, and improved self-confidence.

Her schedule includes some evenings and weekend times. Note that her 3:00 pm weekday slot is phone only. People who speak English or Spanish can work with her. To start, select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How mindfulness and practical therapy work online

Marisol commonly brings mindfulness practice into sessions to help people notice stress patterns and respond more calmly to difficult moments. Mindfulness work here is about simple attention and breathing exercises and checking in with bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration. That approach involves following the client's lead, reflecting what is said, and helping people identify their own strengths and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to change day-to-day results.

Choosing the right approach is an ongoing conversation. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. This means trying things, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow evening or weekend meetings, and let people join from wherever they are while saving travel time. Phone-only sessions are available for the 3:00 pm weekday slot, and other formats should be confirmed when scheduling.

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.
