Marisol Vigil , LCSW

Marisol Vigil is a California-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, person-centered support. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and major life changes. Marisol speaks English and Spanish and brings three years of professional experience to sessions.

Her approach starts by listening. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, with an emphasis on small, achievable steps that feel manageable.

Marisol blends client-centered work with cognitive tools and emotion-focused techniques. That means she helps clients sort out patterns of thought, name feelings, and practice clearer communication. Mindfulness and existential ideas are also used to help people find meaning and cope with uncertainty.

She supports practical needs like parenting stress, career shifts, and everyday anxiety. Marisol also addresses deeper themes such as attachment wounds, feelings of abandonment, body image concerns, caregiver strain, and guilt or shame. Conversations aim to make daily life easier and more satisfying.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Marisol offers some evening and weekend times, and has specific phone-only slots in the midafternoon. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the available times.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and everyday life

Marisol commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when working online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people feel understood so they can explore what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors, and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

She also uses emotionally-focused techniques to help people identify and name strong feelings and improve communication in relationships. Together these approaches aim to make changes that feel relevant and doable for the person in front of her. Choosing the right mix is collaborative - she will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use body language and visual cues when that helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit short check-ins, quick coaching moments, or pacing that works around a busy day.
