Marisol Cruz, LPC, LCPC

Marisol Cruz is bilingual in English and Spanish and holds the credentials LPC and LCPC, which stand for Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She brings decades of experience in school counseling along with focused clinical work in mental health - she has worked as a school counselor for 24 years and has practiced as a mental health counselor for over 5 years.

Marisol works with adults facing mild to moderate depression and anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, substance use issues, and life transitions. She also provides coaching and support around parenting, family dynamics, anger, intimacy, career matters, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and other everyday struggles. Additional areas of focus include attachment and caregiver stress, communication and control problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, life purpose, mood concerns, self-love, women’s issues, and workplace difficulties.

Her approach centers on the client and their immediate goals. Sessions typically begin with an open check-in about what is on the client’s mind, then shift to targeted work toward a primary goal for that session. Marisol uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, and complements those techniques with supportive, empathic care. She aims to create a compassionate, non-judgmental environment in which clients can express themselves and work collaboratively toward meaningful change.
