Mariana Flores, LPC

Mariana Flores is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with seven years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and struggles with motivation. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable.

Mariana uses a practical, respectful approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals that fit their lives. Conversations and plans are tailored to what each person needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

Her work draws on several therapy styles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where clients lead the pace and topics. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm affects daily functioning and sense of safety.

She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people better identify and express emotions, and Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change. These methods are mixed to match the concern at hand, whether it is grief, addiction, parenting strain, or career stress.

Mariana emphasizes steady, achievable progress. Sessions can address practical skills like coping with intense feelings, improving communication, or managing day-to-day challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiver stress. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins so clients can see what’s working.

If you’re considering therapy, she asks you to start with a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session when you’re ready. That first meeting is a chance to talk about goals and decide next steps together.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and following the client’s lead to build trust and clarify goals. It’s useful when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. It tends to help with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, concerns, and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides which methods are emphasized and how homework or between-session practice is shaped so it fits daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep regular momentum on goals like practicing coping skills, tracking mood, or working on communication tasks without rearranging a full day.
