About Mariana
Mariana Flores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, parenting concerns, and changes in life circumstances. She also addresses addictions, grief, anger, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Mariana uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify what matters to them. She draws on client-centered techniques to follow each person's lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions are practical and focused on small, doable steps between meetings.
Clients can expect a calm, direct approach that balances listening with concrete strategies. Mariana pays attention to how daily routines, sleep, and stress affect mood. She works with people on communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, body image, and related concerns that often come up at home.
She also brings trauma-focused methods when past hurts are central to current difficulties. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants change but feels stuck. These methods are combined in ways that reflect each person's goals and pace.
Mariana invites people who want practical tools for managing emotions and relationships to begin with a short matching questionnaire and a first session. The focus is on realistic steps for life at home and at work, not on quick fixes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Mariana commonly combines Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-centered methods focus on following the client's concerns and priorities, letting the person set the pace. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers small, concrete changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns or strong emotions are central, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect daily life. Each approach is used to address specific problems such as anxiety, parenting stress, grief, or trauma-related reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. Mariana collaborates with each person to identify goals, test methods, and adjust the plan over time. She helps clients decide which tools fit their situation and day-to-day life.
The exact online session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. The focus is practical: making sessions work around parenting, work, and other responsibilities rather than promising a specific format.
