About Mariana
Mariana Flores is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and struggles with motivation. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Texas. Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Mariana listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope with day-to-day stress and to reduce anxiety symptoms. She tailors plans so people can try tools between visits and see what helps in real life.
Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. When trauma is involved, trauma-focused techniques are applied with attention to pacing and safety.
Mariana uses motivational interviewing to support people who want change but feel stuck. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide conversations about stronger emotional awareness and connection to feelings. These methods are mixed to match each person’s needs rather than follow a single script.
With seven years of experience as an LPC in Texas, she brings steady clinical time and a practical focus. People who want straightforward guidance on coping, rebuilding confidence, or navigating life changes often find this approach useful.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. In practice this means the therapist follows your lead, checks what matters most, and adapts each session to your priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that make problems worse. It offers concrete exercises to change thinking patterns and build healthier routines for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to past hurts with careful pacing. It helps people process painful memories and learn skills to manage reminders and strong emotions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and try methods that fit your goals, needs, and preferences in a collaborative way.
