About Mariel

Mariel Diaz is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 18 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on creating a calm, respectful space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family tensions, and work concerns. Mariel uses practical conversation and clear steps so clients can see small changes quickly.

Her main approach draws on attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns in close relationships. She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior strategies to manage strong emotions.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives are used as needed to deepen self-understanding. Sessions center on the problems a person brings right now and on skills that can be practiced between meetings. Clients can expect straightforward talk, goal setting, and tools for improving communication and boundaries.

Mariel tailors each plan to a person’s needs and pace. She has worked across a range of settings over nearly two decades and aims to treat people with sensitivity and respect. Mariel helps clients sort priorities, reduce overwhelm, and make decisions that match their values.

Mariel is licensed as an LCSW in California and Florida. She provides services from Florida and conducts sessions in English for people located in the state.

Online support

How attachment work and skills translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work helps people spot interaction patterns that shape how they connect with others; it focuses on recurring relationship habits and what people feel in close moments. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete techniques to shift unhelpful thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to manage intense reactions and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the work stays focused and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging and can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, more ways to practice skills, and multiple formats to match how someone prefers to engage.
