About Marimar
Marimar Rosa Monge is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in California with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, and problems within family relationships. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical.
Her work emphasizes clear goals and simple tools clients can use between appointments. She helps people rebuild self-esteem, improve communication, and reduce feelings of shame or isolation. She also supports those facing life changes, chronic health concerns, and the emotional aftermath of trauma.
Codependency is one area she pays attention to when it shows up in relationships and caregiving patterns. Marimar uses a mix of methods drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based practices to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different choices. She also incorporates narrative techniques to make sense of life stories and motivational interviewing to strengthen readiness for change.
Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to each person. She works collaboratively to set small, concrete steps that fit daily life. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who prefer direct, respectful guidance and a bilingual therapist often find her approach helpful. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a first appointment.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Marimar commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy trains attention to the present moment and can help with stress, emotional reactivity, and chronic pain.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marimar will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as needs change. This is a collaborative process that starts with small steps and clear objectives.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people appreciate virtual work because it can fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to add therapy into work breaks, manage caregiving duties, or keep momentum between in-person visits. Ask about the therapist's current session options when you schedule to find what will work best for you.
