Mariana Flores, LPC

Mariana Flores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Mariana approaches each person with respect and compassion. She encourages taking the first step and offers steady support through change.

In sessions she listens first to understand what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She then tailors a plan that combines clear, goal-focused work with attention to emotions and relationships. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new ways to respond, or exploring how past events affect current feelings.

She uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to help shift thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life. Trauma-focused work is available when past events continue to cause distress.

Mariana also brings motivational interviewing when people feel stuck or unsure about change. Sessions are conversational and practical, with tools people can try between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including grief, addictions, parenting stress, career challenges, caregiver strain, body image, eating-related issues, and first responder stress. If you want to talk through next steps, she guides the scheduling and intake process in straightforward terms.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's goals and experience, letting the therapist follow what matters most and offer empathy and support. This approach helps with stress, low motivation, relationship strains, and uncertainty about change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing different ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with daily routines or coping skills.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past events affect current feelings and responses, and uses gradual, careful steps to reduce distress and build new coping skills. It can help people who continue to struggle after difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before, then collaborate to try methods that fit the person's needs. Sessions adapt over time based on what proves most useful.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit into busy schedules and reduced travel time, which can make regular sessions more manageable. Because formats are not listed in the original biography, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know which online or in-person arrangements are available. Online work aims to bring the same goal-focused and emotionally aware methods into everyday life.
