About Mariana
Mariana Flores is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on common early adult struggles such as stress, anxiety, low motivation, low self-esteem, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with people who are navigating life transitions, career pressure, relationship strain, and questions about purpose and direction.
Mariana uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work. She listens to what matters most and helps set small, achievable steps. Sessions often include practical tools to reduce worry, improve sleep, and rebuild confidence. She combines gentle challenge with support so people can try new behaviors between sessions.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's values central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. When trauma is involved, elements of Trauma-Focused Therapy guide pacing and safety during the work.
Mariana also uses Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for people wanting help with attachment or strong emotions. This mix lets her address symptoms like anxiety and depression while also working on relationship and identity concerns.
She offers services in English and Spanish. Practical matters like scheduling and session format should be confirmed before booking. To begin, users follow the site's matching steps and schedule a first session through the online process.
How Mariana uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify values, make choices, and feel understood while they work through early adult challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps when past events interfere with daily life by using careful pacing and strategies that reduce distress during recall.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mariana will work together with the person to decide which methods fit best given their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around classes, shifts, or commuting by removing travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to homework, worksheets, and short check-ins between sessions, which can be helpful for people juggling study or new jobs. Ask about language preference and scheduling during the matching steps so the format and approach suit everyday life.
