Marimar Rosa MongeLCSW

Marimar Rosa Monge is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in California with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and family-related concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about painful feelings and confusing transitions. Sessions are conversational and practical. Marimar listens first, then helps people set small, manageable goals they can use between meetings.

Her work often draws on straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She also uses mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people make sense of their story and notice patterns that keep them stuck.

Marimar has helped people through postpartum depression, chronic illness and pain, grief, and relationship communication problems. She pays attention to cultural background and offers services in English and Spanish to meet different needs.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She encourages practical steps alongside emotional work. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Marimar often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical tools to test thoughts and try new actions.

She also employs mindfulness therapy to help people notice bodily sensations and moment-to-moment experience. Mindfulness practices can reduce rumination and support emotional regulation during transitions like postpartum or chronic illness. Narrative therapy is another approach she uses to examine the stories people tell about themselves and to find alternative, more helpful narratives.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time. Clients can expect to set short-term goals and try exercises between sessions.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to match everyday life while keeping the work practical and goal-oriented.
