About Marisol

Marisol Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, grief, trauma and relationship concerns, and she lists codependency among her focus areas.

She uses a person-centered style that keeps the client’s goals first. Sessions are interactive and practical. She listens to each person's story and helps map out steps that make sense in day-to-day life.

Marisol blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with dialectical behavior therapy ideas and solution-focused steps. That combination is used to identify unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and practice concrete changes between sessions. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing ideas also appear in her work when they fit a client's goals.

People often come for help with habit patterns like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting pulled into other people’s crises. Marisol aims to help clients notice these patterns, set small boundaries, and practice different choices in real situations.

Sessions focus on clear goals and measurable steps. She will work with a client to set priorities, try new behaviors, and adjust the plan as needed. The tone is straightforward and focused on usable tools rather than lectures.

To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Marisol practices in Texas and conducts work in English only.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Marisol commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping a person identify their own priorities. It helps when someone needs a steady, respectful listener who will help clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors in daily life, useful for anxiety, depression, and boundary work.

She approaches finding the right methods as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try specific tools together. If something does not fit, they adjust the approach based on what the client reports and what changes are happening in daily life.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simple to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples into conversation. Marisol will discuss how to schedule sessions and which format best matches a client's routine and goals.
