About Marizol

Marizol Urbieta-Cortez is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with seven years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes. Marizol works in English and Spanish.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck and which small steps could make things easier. Sessions may include practical tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelming thoughts. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help clarify goals and build momentum.

Marizol pays attention to communication problems, isolation or loneliness, feelings of emptiness, and issues around forgiveness and self-love. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence impacts, women's issues, and concerns common in young adulthood. Life purpose is one area she addresses with clients who are rethinking what comes next.

Her approach centers on listening and adjusting the plan as people report what helps. Conversations move at a steady pace, with concrete suggestions and chance to reflect on what matters most. The result is a mix of practical strategies and chance to re-evaluate priorities over time.

To begin, people choose an initial booking path and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. It helps when someone needs space to name priorities and decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices to notice thoughts and calm the body, which many people use for stress and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means checking what helps in early sessions and adjusting plans as needed rather than committing to a fixed program from the start.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. These practical benefits help people try approaches like CBT exercises or mindfulness practices during ordinary weekdays without promising a particular service.
