Marimar Rosa Monge, LCSW

Marimar Rosa Monge is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California with ten years of practice. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, and family conflict. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy accessible and straightforward for busy lives.

Her approach is calm and practical. She helps people build tools to handle intense emotions like anger and shame. She also supports those coping with life changes, chronic health concerns, and postpartum depression. Sessions look at day-to-day habits and small changes that add up over time.

Marimar uses structured methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas to change unhelpful patterns. She draws on mindfulness and narrative work to help people connect meaning to their experience. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to move forward but isn’t sure how.

She often helps people address issues around codependency, communication problems, isolation, and grief tied to abandonment or aging. Marimar pays attention to how relationships and life transitions affect mood and coping. Her goal is to help people find clearer choices and gentler ways to handle hard feelings.

People who prefer a cooperative, down-to-earth style may find her approach fits. She invites clients to set practical goals and to experiment with small shifts between sessions. The focus is on realistic steps that fit into everyday life.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Marimar commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. This approach breaks problems into manageable steps and focuses on practical changes that show up between sessions.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those tools can help when feelings feel overwhelming and when impulsive reactions cause relationship strain. Mindfulness therapy is used alongside these approaches to increase present-moment awareness and reduce rumination.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marimar will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. She tailors methods to the individual so sessions remain useful and doable over time.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help maintain continuity while managing chronic health concerns or life transitions, since sessions are easier to keep in day-to-day routines.
