About Marimar
Marimar Rosa Monge is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life stresses and mood concerns such as depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Marimar also helps people manage family conflict, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers services in both English and Spanish.
Her work is grounded in practical methods that people can use between sessions. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions emphasize clear skills for emotion regulation, communication, and problem solving rather than abstract theory.
Marimar pays attention to how health problems and life transitions affect daily functioning. That includes chronic pain or illness, postpartum mood changes, aging concerns, and major life adjustments. She also addresses relational dynamics such as codependency, communication difficulties, and non-monogamous relationship issues as they come up for individuals.
People who come to her often want straightforward support for feelings of isolation, shame, guilt, or impulsivity. Therapy can include looking at unhelpful stories people tell themselves and building small, doable steps toward change. The aim is to leave sessions with concrete strategies to use the rest of the week.
She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session so they can talk about immediate concerns and decide on next steps together.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking issues into small, workable steps. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce impulsivity and improve relationships. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention skills that can reduce reactivity and rumination.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean trying a skill-based focus for a few weeks and then shifting to narrative work to reframe personal stories. Decisions are made together and adjusted based on what helps.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since session options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-in meetings when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to continue care during life transitions. Ask about which session formats are offered so arrangements match your routine.
