About Mariana

Mariana Flores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on common and persistent concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges with motivation and sleep. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Her approach centers on helping people identify and name strong emotions. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape reactions and relationships. She also draws on client-centered work to keep conversations grounded in each person's perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for changing unhelpful thoughts and building more effective habits. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is ambivalent about change, especially around addictions or health goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy supports those working through past wounds.

In practical terms, she listens for patterns that add to distress. Then she and the client try simple, concrete steps to interrupt those patterns. Sessions emphasize clear goals and usable strategies rather than theory.

Mariana helps with a wide range of life stressors listed on her profile, including grief, parenting strain, career concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and eating or body image issues. If you want to work in English or Spanish and live in Texas, she may be a fit. To begin, use the site matching flow to schedule an initial meeting.

How Mariana Integrates EFT and Practical Therapies Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to help people notice and name their core emotions and how those feelings shape reactions. It can be helpful for anxiety, relationship patterns, and processing strong emotions. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions, letting the conversation follow what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping skills for depression, anxiety, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they will try approaches and adjust them based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins, or choose audio-only when bandwidth is limited. It can also let people join from a quieter place when that is more convenient. Licensed professionals generally adapt exercises, emotion-focused work, and CBT tools so they translate to remote meetings and to practical steps clients can use between sessions.
