Marisol Garza, LPC

Marisol Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, anger, and career concerns. Her work includes attention to relationship and family problems as well as complex issues like bipolar symptoms and attachment struggles.

Her style is person-centered and interactive. Sessions focus on respect, sensitivity, and practical steps clients can use between meetings. Marisol combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor plans to each person.

She prefers clear goals and simple, usable strategies. That can mean learning coping skills, changing unhelpful thought patterns, or practicing emotion regulation. Conversations are collaborative - the client and therapist decide what to try next.

Marisol has worked across a wide range of concerns, including anger, codependency, body image, isolation, and first responder issues. She also addresses less visible struggles such as guilt, shame, emptiness, and control issues. Her experience gives her a broad perspective on common and complicated challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Marisol uses an approach that adapts to what a person needs, aiming for steady progress and skills that fit daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Marisol commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy during online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions to reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring the pace to the person so conversations feel heard and understood.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when strong emotions are causing problems. DBT teaches concrete tools for managing intense feelings, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship difficulties, or overwhelming stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to focus on and when to try something different.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging works for brief check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
