About Mariana
Mariana Flores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with clients struggling with changes in life, grief, addiction, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to match client needs.
Mariana uses a straightforward, respectful approach. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She aims to make therapy feel like a useful conversation rather than a lecture. Her work blends several methods depending on the issue. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person's experience central, allowing them to lead the pace and topics. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to affect daily functioning. Over seven years she has supported people through parenting stress, career shifts, relationship communication problems, and chronic illness challenges.
Mariana pays attention to how multiple concerns interact, such as co-morbidity or overlapping life stressors, and adapts plans accordingly. Practical tools often include breathing and grounding strategies, thought records, and goal-driven homework between sessions. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help with change when people feel stuck.
The focus is on steady progress and building skills that can be used outside sessions.
How Mariana’s Approaches Work Online
Mariana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s pace, so sessions focus on what matters most to the person.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events affect current functioning. That approach helps people process difficult memories and learn skills to reduce their impact on day-to-day life. Together these approaches allow for both practical skill-building and supportive, person-led conversation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time as needs change and progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
