About Maricsa
Maricsa Evans is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem challenges, and life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, and young adult issues.
Maricsa uses practical conversations to help clients manage day-to-day pressures. Sessions often look at what’s getting in the way of feeling steady and confident. She draws on methods that help people notice thoughts, practice new behaviors, and set small achievable goals.
Her approach mixes short-term problem solving with attention to past events that still affect daily life. That can mean learning skills to reduce anxiety, trying new ways to talk about needs, or working through loss at a manageable pace. She aims to keep sessions focused and action-oriented while addressing deeper concerns when they arise.
She treats the process as collaborative. Clients and Maricsa set priorities together and track progress between sessions. That may include homework like brief exercises, mindfulness practices, or steps to improve communication.
People often reach out when they feel stuck after big life changes, when relationships create stress, or when confidence and purpose feel unclear. Maricsa helps clients take practical steps toward feeling more in control and clear about next moves.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Maricsa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often includes setting small experiments, keeping simple thought records, and practicing new responses to stressful situations. It’s useful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation problems.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice bodily and mental responses to stress. Mindfulness exercises are brief attention practices that can reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making. These practices can pair well with behavioral steps from CBT.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maricsa will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the client’s needs. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts focus as progress is tracked.
