Marisol Perez, LSW

Therapist

My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I aim to meet clients where they are while offering tools and strategies to navigate life’s challenges. Using evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy, I tailor sessions to each individual’s unique needs. I work to create a space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences, identify their goals, and build skills for lasting change.


Specialties

As a bilingual, Mexican-American mental health therapist, I bring a culturally sensitive and client-centered approach to my work. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Loyola University Chicago, where I graduated in 2023. Currently licensed as an LSW, I have been dedicated to supporting individuals on their mental health journey for over 1.5 years.

 

I specialize in working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, significant life changes, and those striving to improve their self-esteem and self-confidence. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, reality testing,and solution-focused techniques to help clients achieve meaningful growth and change.
