Marimar Rosa Monge, LCSW

Marimar Rosa Monge is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, anger, self-esteem struggles, and family conflict. Marimar also addresses concerns such as codependency, grief around abandonment, life transitions, and challenges related to chronic illness.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people name what feels overwhelming, then tries practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions often include noticing patterns in thoughts and behavior and testing small changes between appointments.

Marimar uses a mix of approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. That variety lets her match strategies to each person's goals, whether coping with postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, or loneliness after a major life change.

She works in both English and Spanish and brings attention to how culture and family expectations shape relationships. People who feel stuck in people-pleasing patterns or who struggle to set boundaries often find the focus helpful.

Practical skills, clear feedback, and collaborative planning make up much of her work. She asks about what you want to try and helps track small shifts. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
