How her approaches translate to online therapy

Marimar often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices when helping people manage anger, anxiety, and depression. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing small behaviors to reduce distress, while mindfulness teaches present-moment awareness and breathing or grounding techniques to calm strong emotions.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills can help people notice intense feelings, pause, and choose a different response when impulses or anger arise. These approaches are described and chosen together based on each person's needs and goals.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Marimar will discuss options with the client and adjust strategies as progress is made. This means starting with practical goals and trying tools that fit daily routines.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or school schedules and can reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in real life shortly after a session, which many find helpful.
