About Marimar
Marimar Rosa Monge is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with ten years of experience. She focuses on common household and personal stresses such as anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, and family-related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to help adults manage life changes and everyday emotional strain.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people make small, practical changes. That can mean learning new ways to handle stress, developing clearer communication habits, or coping with chronic illness and ongoing pain. The work often centers on day-to-day problems rather than abstract theory.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and mindfulness practices to build tools for managing strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy are also part of her toolbox for people who want to rethink patterns and find motivation to change. Sessions focus on skills, problem solving, and clearer thinking.
Marimar also supports people coping with specific situations like postpartum depression, abandonment issues, isolation, or the strain of family conflict. She helps those dealing with guilt, shame, or a search for life purpose to identify next steps and practice new habits. The tone is practical and steady, aimed at making daily life more manageable.
For a first appointment, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their initial session. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and services are provided from her California practice.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Marimar uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Mindfulness Therapy to teach emotion regulation and present-moment attention. DBT skills offer concrete ways to tolerate distress and improve interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness practices help reduce overwhelm and increase awareness of bodily and emotional states.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person's goals and daily life. Clients and the therapist adjust tools and homework together as needs change.
The exact session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities by removing travel time and offering flexibility. Shorter check-ins, sessions that do not require video, or scheduled times between responsibilities can help therapy fit into a busy household.
