About Marisol
Marisol Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and build self-esteem. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make sessions feel like a calm place to work through hard things.
Marisol uses a person-centered approach that treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions are interactive and tailored to each person's goals. She often combines cognitive behavioral ideas with dialectical behavior tools and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and make different choices.
Common concerns she addresses include depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, codependency, and issues with communication or control. Marisol works with mood conditions including bipolar disorder and with people facing loneliness, guilt, or shame.
In sessions she blends short-term practical strategies with skills practice. That might mean identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral changes, or learning emotion regulation skills. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find the drive to change.
Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. If someone wants a straightforward, collaborative counselor who offers concrete tools and steady support, Marisol may be a fit. To start, clients are asked to complete an intake so therapy can be matched to their needs and goals.
How client-centered and skills-based therapy works online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, respect, and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, asks questions, and helps the person make sense of their own experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and when someone wants clear tools to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process may include mixing approaches, trying short exercises, and adjusting strategies based on what helps.
