Marisol Vigil, LCSW

Marisol Vigil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. She focuses on practical changes in thoughts and everyday habits to reduce stress and anxiety. She supports people who are struggling with self-esteem, career challenges, and major life transitions.

Marisol believes each person knows their own story best. She uses that perspective to build on existing strengths and to help set achievable goals. Sessions are aimed at small, concrete shifts in thinking and routine that make daily life feel more manageable.

Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices. These methods help people identify unhelpful thought patterns, try new behaviors, and notice what matters most to them. She brings empathy and straightforward coaching to those steps.

Marisol has three years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career issues, and coping with life changes. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and control issues, and grief-related themes.

She offers weekend and late evening appointments, and notes that 3:00 pm weekday sessions are by phone only. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the client’s experiences and goals at the center. This approach means sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify what matters to them. It works well for stress, parenting concerns, and decisions about work or life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Through short exercises and practical changes, CBT helps people test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and boost confidence.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. It can help people stay calmer in stressful moments and become more aware of everyday habits that affect mood and energy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Then she and the client choose techniques that fit the client’s needs and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during evening or weekend hours. Phone sessions may be used at specific times, so check scheduling notes when you sign up.
