About Mariana
Mariana Flores is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and parenting concerns. Mariana offers straightforward support and practical strategies to make everyday life feel more manageable.
She focuses on creating a respectful, compassionate space where clients set the pace. Conversations lead to clear, individualized plans rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions often include skill-building for coping, goal setting, and efforts to improve day-to-day routines.
Background and approach
Mariana uses familiar, evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered work to address thinking patterns and emotional needs. She also draws on trauma-focused tools when past hurt affects present functioning and motivation-based approaches to help clients find reasons to change. Her practice supports people dealing with grief, addiction, career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and relationship communication problems.
She also assists with eating and body-image concerns, anger, and the fallout from separation or disaster-related stress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are adaptable to different formats. The therapist emphasizes collaboration, helping each person choose strategies that fit their life and values.

Approaches that guide online work
Mariana often uses client-centered therapy to start sessions. This means the person’s concerns and goals shape each conversation, and the therapist follows the client’s pace to build trust and clarity. Client-centered work helps when people need listening, validation, and help deciding what matters most.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to look at unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. These methods are practical and break down problems into small steps, useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. When trauma is involved, trauma-focused therapy is used to address painful memories and their current effects in manageable ways.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mariana will discuss different methods and together with the client will pick what fits their needs, goals, and personal style. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or fit quick conversations into busy days. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
