Marisol Garza , LPC

Marisol Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming. She talks plainly and uses straightforward tools to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

She works with adults facing major life changes, grief, anger, career strain, compassion fatigue, and trauma and abuse. Sessions also address relationship worries, family problems, body image, codependency, and challenges like isolation or control issues. Bipolar mood concerns and first responder related stress are within her range of experience.

Her style is person-centered and interactive. She listens first, then helps set clear goals. Sessions mix cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness exercises, and solution-focused steps to build skills people can use between meetings.

Marisol emphasizes collaboration and real-world practice. She helps people notice thought and behavior patterns, try new coping skills, and track small changes over time. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapy is delivered in a format that fits daily life, with options for video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Conversations are kept direct and compassionate, focused on what the client wants to change and how to get there.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people can set their own goals and move at their own pace. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. It uses small experiments and practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and change behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low motivation.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. These tools are useful for handling strong reactions, relationship conflict, and ongoing mood challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. A therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps someone feel steadier.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and short updates between visits. These options help people access consistent support with more flexibility.
