Mariana Flores, LPC

Mariana Flores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and works with individuals who are facing major life changes, grief, addiction concerns, and career or parenting stress.

Her sessions are rooted in practical conversation. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Mariana uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to address thinking patterns and day-to-day coping skills.

When trauma or painful memories are present, she draws on trauma-focused approaches to help people process what happened at a pace they can handle. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck or needs support building motivation for change.

Mariana keeps plans down to earth. She helps people break problems into small steps they can try between sessions. She also supports those dealing with family-related stress, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and chronic illness challenges.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented while staying responsive to each person's experience. Mariana encourages practical tools, honest conversation, and gradual progress.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Services are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Mariana’s Approaches Work Online

Mariana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often by practicing new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means conversations are guided by the client's priorities and paced to match what they need, emphasizing empathy and collaboration.

When painful memories or trauma are present, Mariana can use Trauma-Focused Therapy methods to help process those experiences in a way that feels manageable. Choosing the best approach is a team effort - she will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick touchpoints, brief coaching, or keeping momentum between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like CBT and motivational interviewing in practical ways.
