About Marisol
Marisol Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She has supported people facing depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges. She also assists those coping with major life changes and recurring unhealthy coping habits. Marisol aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to feel steadier.
Her style is person-centered and interactive. Sessions focus on the individual's goals and move at a practical pace. Marisol uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused work, and positive psychology to tailor sessions to what helps most. She explains skills plainly and practices them with each person in session.
Marisol also addresses relationship strain, grief, anger, career concerns, bipolar mood issues, and trauma and abuse. Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, and problems with communication or control. She is familiar with first responder issues and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
People who do best with her approach are those who want practical strategies paired with compassionate listening. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented while honoring each person's story and pace. The focus is on clear steps forward rather than long lectures.
To begin, she asks people to identify concrete goals and then works on skills and perspectives that make those goals reachable. Marisol emphasizes steady progress, with space to process strong feelings and to build new ways of coping.
How Marisol's Methods Translate to Online Work
Marisol uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in straightforward ways. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so people can set their own goals and feel heard. CBT looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful cycles, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage intense feelings and improve communication.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to see what methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That joint decision-making helps ensure sessions feel useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills between sessions and bring real-life situations into the conversation for immediate feedback. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills well to remote sessions, and Marisol will help choose the right balance for each person.
