About Mariana

Mariana Flores is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low motivation, low self-esteem, and depression. She meets each person with respect and compassion and aims to make the first step into therapy easier to take.

Her work is practical and focused on the issues you bring. Conversations are used to identify patterns that keep problems going. She and the client then try out small, manageable changes to see what helps in daily life.

Sessions draw on several common approaches. Client-Centered Therapy guides conversations around the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Trauma-Focused methods are used when past events are causing current distress.

Mariana keeps plans tailored to the person, not a single method for everyone. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the approach as needed. Expect a straightforward, empathetic style with an emphasis on skills you can use between sessions.

She has seven years of professional experience as an LPC and offers services in English and Spanish. If you are thinking about starting therapy, she encourages taking the next step and reaching out to learn more.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what you want to work on and follows your pace; the therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around your priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches practical tools to change patterns that cause distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past events affect current life and uses methods to reduce the ways those memories interfere with daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. You and the therapist decide together which strategies to continue and which to change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it helpful to use remote sessions to keep regular momentum between life's demands while working on stress, mood, and coping skills with a licensed professional.
