About Marisol
Marisol Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, grief, and life transitions. Sessions address practical problems and coping skills rather than labels.
Her style is person-centered and interactive. She listens closely and encourages straightforward conversation about what is happening now. That often means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing small behavior changes, and practicing skills between sessions.
Marisol uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to support clearer goals and steadier attention to progress.
Typical work covers relationship strain, compassion fatigue, career stress, trauma and abuse, family conflict, and problems like codependency or control issues. She also supports people dealing with first responder stress, grief, and body image concerns. Anger is included among the areas she addresses, with concrete strategies to reduce reactivity and build healthier communication.
Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings. Expect a mix of reflection, skill practice, and planning. The goal is to reduce overwhelming moments and increase the ability to handle ordinary challenges with less distress.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Marisol uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on small experiments to test different ways of responding to stress, anger, or anxiety. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal communication. DBT tools are useful when strong reactions get in the way of relationships or work. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation can include which skills to practice between sessions and how to track progress over time. Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use exercises and worksheets digitally during or after a meeting, which can help maintain momentum between sessions.Areas of focus
