Marisol Cruz

Compassionate bilingual counselor focused on goals

About Marisol

Marisol Cruz is a bilingual licensed counselor practicing in Indiana who brings five years of mental health counseling experience to her work. She holds LPC and LCPC credentials and offers support in both English and Spanish.

Background and approach

Her background includes extensive time as a school counselor prior to clinical practice, and she uses that foundation to help clients navigate issues like depression, anxiety, substance use, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Her sessions emphasize the client's immediate needs and a collaborative focus on goals each week.

Marisol structures visits to allow space for whatever is on a client's mind before shifting to the main objectives for the session. She describes her therapeutic stance as empathetic and compassionate, aiming to create a nonjudgmental environment where people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Marisol works with a broad range of concerns including stress, parenting and family challenges, anger, intimacy-related issues, career questions, ADHD, and grief over life changes. She also attends to attachment difficulties, communication problems, addiction-related issues, guilt and shame, and workplace stress while tailoring strategies to each person's situation.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Marisol integrates evidence-informed methods to help clients address practical problems and emotional patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so clients can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can support stress reduction, emotion regulation, and improved attention.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marisol works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life context and then suggests or combines approaches that best fit those needs. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is most helpful for progress and comfort.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from different locations while working with licensed professionals who adapt therapeutic tools to virtual formats.
