She holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) credentials and practices in Indiana. Marisol brings five years of experience as a mental health counselor along with many additional years working in schools, and she focuses on practical help for everyday struggles including stress, anxiety, depression, and women's issues.

She works with adults on concerns such as relationships, parenting stress, substance use, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions begin with what is most pressing for the client and then move toward a clear goal for the time together. Marisol aims for straightforward conversations and concrete steps the client can try between sessions.

Her style is warm and direct. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and to build different habits. Mindfulness practices are included to help people manage worry and stay present. Motivational interviewing supports change when people feel stuck or unsure how to move forward.

Clients can expect a collaborative plan that fits their daily life. Marisol also addresses concerns related to attachment, caregiver stress, workplace issues, and intimacy. Her background in schools informs a practical, problem-solving approach to parenting and family-related stress.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Marisol accepts clients in Indiana and also works with international clients who prefer English or Spanish.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Marisol uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often focuses on one problem at a time and offers clear exercises to practice between sessions, which can help with anxiety, mood, and patterns that cause stress.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about making changes. This approach uses questions and reflection to build motivation and small steps toward goals. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marisol will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, and then suggest methods to try together. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what works for the client.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat are useful for quick check-ins or when someone needs brief support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
