About Marisol
Marisol Vigil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
Marisol frames therapy around the idea that the client is the expert on their own life. She emphasizes clients' existing strengths and invites them to use those strengths to face hard choices. Conversations tend to be practical and grounded, aimed at understanding what is getting in the way now and what small steps could look like.
Her sessions draw on Client-Centered principles, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness approaches. That means she listens for patterns in thoughts and feelings, explores how attachment and relationships shape experience, and uses mindful awareness to manage strong emotions. She also uses existential perspectives to look at meaning and values when life feels uncertain.
She offers weekday and weekend appointments, including late evening slots. The biography notes that 3:00pm weekday sessions are phone only. If Spanish is preferred, she can work in Spanish as well as English. Marisol works from California and holds the CA LCSW credential.
People who come because guilt or shame is present can expect conversations that name those feelings and look at where they come from. The focus is on clearer thinking, manageable changes, and practical ways to cope with the weight of those emotions.
Online approaches and how remote sessions work
Marisol uses Client-Centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters to the client, helping people clarify their goals and feel understood. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical, testable changes that reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marisol will discuss options together and decide which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods may shift as issues change or new priorities emerge.
The biography notes specific scheduling details rather than a full list of formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Her profile mentions weekend and late evening appointments, and that 3:00pm weekday sessions are phone only. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time for those balancing work and caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools to remote sessions so the practical work continues even when meeting by phone or other supported formats.
