About Marisol

Marisol Vigil is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on Internal Family Systems alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral methods to support people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, career obstacles, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes the client’s own knowledge of their story and builds on existing strengths to help address emotional and practical difficulties. Her approach encourages exploration and personal agency while providing guidance through change.

With three years of professional experience delivering care in California, Marisol works with a broad set of related issues including attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and relationship endings. She also addresses struggles like body image, guilt and shame, hoarding, and feelings of emptiness.

Marisol offers weekend and late evening appointment times and notes that her 3:00 pm weekday sessions are phone only. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and organized through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and relate to different parts of themselves with curiosity rather than judgment; it can be useful for navigating inner conflict, attachment wounds, and persistent patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals to build confidence and autonomy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which methods feel most helpful based on their concerns, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from several approaches to match what emerges in treatment.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to schedule weekend or late evening appointments and to keep continuity during life changes. These formats support regular contact and practical work on skills and insight while fitting into busy routines and varied locations.
