About Marimar
Marimar Rosa Monge is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice in California. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and anger find clearer ways to cope. Marimar speaks English and Spanish and aims to make talking about hard things easier.
She focuses on everyday problems that pile up - family tension, low self-esteem, isolation, and life changes. She also addresses concerns tied to chronic illness, postpartum depression, grief, and past trauma.
Background and approach
Her work includes practical tools people can use between sessions. Marimar draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative work. She and each client map out small, concrete steps toward change and test what works in real life.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and direct, with an eye on doable strategies. People sometimes come for help with impulsivity, guilt and shame, communication problems, or struggles around non-monogamous relationships. She pays attention to how cultural background shapes feelings and choices.
Marimar aims to meet people where they are and build from their strengths. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are scheduled through an initial matching process.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Marimar commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice emotions without reacting and to build calmer responses.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marimar will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. She checks in often and adapts techniques based on what the client finds useful, so the plan evolves rather than being fixed at the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth work and role-play; phone calls can fit a work break or require less bandwidth; live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins, homework, and real-time tools between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice strategies in the situations where they matter most.
