Maricsa Evans, LMFT

Maricsa Evans is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers her work on practical strategies that help people handle stress and anxiety. She uses clear, straightforward methods to help clients build confidence and cope with life changes. Maricsa focuses on relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and motivation so people can feel more steady day to day.

She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice calming skills. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and paced to match what feels manageable.

Maricsa draws on 12 years of clinical experience in California settings. That background includes supporting people through loss and helping caregivers manage chronic stress. She pays attention to communication patterns and helps people find clearer ways to express needs.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. Goals are set together and checked in on regularly so progress is visible. People leave sessions with specific tools they can use between meetings.

She offers straightforward support without judgment. The focus is on realistic steps toward better daily functioning, stronger self-regard, and more satisfying relationships.

CBT, Mindfulness, and online sessions that fit your life

Maricsa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small experiments, practicing new skills, and tracking progress to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with stress, grief, and low self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maricsa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try techniques that feel most useful. That collaborative process means the plan can change as a person's needs become clearer.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use body language and screen-shared worksheets, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep progress moving forward.
