About Marisol
Garza uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client's voice central. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and coping skills. Sessions are personalized to the goals each person brings to therapy.
She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help clients notice unhelpful habits and find the motivation to change them. That can mean learning simple grounding practices, testing small behavior changes, or shaping new routines that reduce worry and stress.
In practical terms, Garza focuses on skills people can use between sessions. That includes tools for managing anxiety, improving communication, and handling grief or major life transitions. Conversations are collaborative and paced to fit what each person needs in the moment.
Her background includes more than a decade working with a wide range of concerns such as relationship strain, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, career stress, and bipolar-related challenges. People who want clear, usable strategies and a respectful listening space may find this approach helpful.

How therapy approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first and focuses on listening and empathy so the client feels understood. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. That approach often includes short homework tasks to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean combining listening-focused sessions with CBT skill practice or adding mindfulness to support emotion regulation.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a work break, and not traveling to an office can save time. Online work also makes it possible to use digital tools for practicing skills between meetings, such as guided mindfulness exercises or worksheets to track thoughts and behaviors.
