Maricsa Evans, LMFT

Practical, supportive therapy for stress and life changes

About Maricsa

Maricsa Evans uses practical, evidence-informed therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and brings 12 years of experience to her work.

Background and approach

Maricsa writes clear, focused plans so clients know what to expect in each step. She helps people handle relationship struggles and the weight of grief and loss.

She also supports those working on self-esteem, motivation, and finding life purpose. Short-term goals and problem-solving are often part of her sessions.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. Conversations are tailored to each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.

She listens first, then introduces tools that fit the goals you name. Maricsa draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to reduce unhelpful thoughts and teach calming skills.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, concrete steps. Trauma-focused ideas are available when trauma is part of the story.

People can expect a practical, supportive space to talk through pressing concerns. Maricsa aims to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and regain a sense of direction.

She encourages gradual changes that fit everyday life.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

Maricsa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and negative self-beliefs because it pairs short exercises with real-life practice.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people build calm and present-moment awareness. Mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and support better emotional control during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maricsa will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest methods to try. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what feels most effective and comfortable.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let conversations feel closer to an in-person session, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving routine, or other commitments.
