    About Marimar

    Marimar Rosa Monge is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She brings ten years of experience helping people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or facing family and relationship concerns. Marimar speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical.

    She focuses on real situations people live with - coping with life changes, social isolation, low self-esteem, and anger. She also supports those dealing with postpartum depression, chronic illness, aging concerns, and issues like codependency or guilt. Sessions emphasize clear steps and everyday language rather than clinical jargon.

    Marimar draws from several common therapeutic methods to tailor work to each person. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find motivation for change. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness strategies to build calm and focus.

    In sessions she aims to be collaborative and direct. People can expect to talk through immediate problems, set short-term goals, and practice skills between meetings. Marimar works at a pace chosen together so progress aligns with each person's needs and life demands.

    Her approach honors cultural background and personal strengths. If English or Spanish is easier, that language can be used in sessions. To begin, readers are encouraged to confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.

  2. How therapeutic methods translate to online care

    Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and find motivation to change. Online sessions can use this approach to set meaningful goals and track small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it often uses structured exercises and homework that translate well to remote sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, with an emphasis on emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques that can be practiced between meetings.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time as needs change, so clients and therapist make decisions together rather than committing to a single path up front.

    Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports working with bilingual clinicians when English or Spanish is preferred. Discuss scheduling and format choices at intake to find what works best for individual routines and goals.
