About Mariana

Mariana Flores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep concerns, low motivation, self-esteem, and depression. Mariana also supports people coping with parenting strain, grief, anger, career stress, addictions, and ADHD. She offers services in English and Spanish.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most and mapping small, doable steps. She uses techniques from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice patterns and test different ways of responding. Motivational interviewing is used when someone feels stuck and needs help building momentum.

Mariana also draws on emotionally-focused and trauma-informed methods when painful relationships or past hurt come up. That often means naming emotions, clarifying what a person needs, and trying new communication or coping practices in-session. She keeps interventions straightforward so clients can use them between meetings.

People who come in for anger concerns can expect to work on triggers, responses, and practical skills for cooler moments. For career or parenting stress the focus may include boundary setting and problem-solving. She explains techniques clearly and checks in about what feels useful.

Sessions are grounded in real-life goals. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her clinical approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means the therapist asks clear questions, mirrors concerns, and helps people identify their own goals. This approach is useful for building motivation and clarifying priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Clients learn to spot triggering thoughts, test them, and try small behavioral experiments between sessions. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, anger, and stress management.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses brief, targeted conversation to boost readiness and find personal reasons to try new strategies. This can be paired with CBT or client-centered work to keep progress moving.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adapt methods so the plan fits the client’s needs and day-to-day life.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk to the practice about how sessions are scheduled and what to expect for the first meeting.
