About Marisol
Marisol Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Indiana. She has five years of work as a mental health counselor and decades of experience in school counseling prior to that. She speaks English and Spanish and sees adults for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship problems, and substance use issues.
Sessions begin with a brief check-in about what is on the client's mind. Then Marisol and the client set a clear focus for that meeting and work on steps to address it. Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing to help people tackle thoughts, habits, and motivation.
She supports adults dealing with family-related strain and parenting stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. Conversations often include communication strategies, ways to manage anger and impulsivity, and methods to reduce avoidance and worry. Marisol also helps people who want coaching around career choices, life purpose, and rebuilding self-esteem.
Marisol explains tools in everyday language and practices in both English and Spanish. She pays attention to immediate concerns while also identifying longer-term goals. The approach is practical: short-term strategies are combined with ongoing skills to help daily life feel more manageable.
People who choose her often want clear goals and concrete techniques they can try between sessions. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site's matching steps and schedule a first appointment through the online flow.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Marisol uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Mindfulness therapy is offered as a way to build awareness of thoughts and bodily responses, which can help with stress and emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing focuses on strengthening a person's own reasons for change and can be useful when addressing substance use, impulsivity, or readiness for new habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marisol will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. She and the client decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
