About Marisela
Marisela aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. She combines professional training with a compassionate, empathetic presence to guide clients as they set realistic goals and build resilience. As a first-generation Latina, she brings personal insight into cultural challenges that may affect emotional wellbeing and integrates that perspective into individualized care.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life often requires courage, and Marisela offers steady support throughout that process. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, tailored strategies, and encouragement to help clients move forward with greater confidence and clearer direction.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Marisela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional insight. One approach centers on skills training for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes building self-esteem and motivation through strengths-based work - identifying personal values, small achievable goals, and techniques to shift unhelpful self-talk. She also applies coping-focused strategies for life transitions, helping clients adapt to change with realistic plans and emotional processing.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marisela collaborates with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals, maintain momentum between sessions, and integrate therapeutic tools into everyday life.
