Marisol Cruz

Marisol Cruz is a bilingual counselor who works in English and Spanish. She holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) credentials and brings five years of experience as a mental health counselor. She previously spent many years as a school counselor and uses that background to support people facing everyday challenges.

Marisol helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and substance use concerns. She also supports those working on self-esteem, relationship issues, parenting stress, life transitions, and career questions. Sessions are centered on what the person needs most that day, with time to check in and then focus on a clear goal.

Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and motivational interviewing. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice small changes, and stay motivated toward goals. She aims to create an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about what’s hard.

Marisol draws on practical tools and short exercises as well as conversation. Early sessions typically set one or two concrete goals and look at simple steps to move forward. She frames the work as collaborative and adjusts pace to each person’s needs.

She offers services from Indiana and communicates in both English and Spanish. International clients are accepted. People who want to start are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Marisol uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that make stress and anger worse, then try small, practical changes. CBT often involves short exercises and homework that can be tracked between sessions.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with anxiety or emotional overwhelm. Motivational Interviewing is used to build motivation and clarify personal goals when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marisol works collaboratively to choose which methods to use based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set manageable goals and adjust the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified in this profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy week, makes it easier to keep appointments, and lets them follow up on homework between visits. Online sessions can be useful for shorter check-ins, focused skill practice, and steady progress when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
