Mariana works in a respectful and empathetic manner. She listens first, then helps people set clear, realistic goals. Sessions focus on practical skills and on understanding what keeps difficult patterns going.
Background and approach
She adapts plans to fit each person’s situation rather than using one fixed method. Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
For people coping with trauma, she incorporates trauma-focused techniques to reduce overwhelming memories and reactions. Mariana has seven years of counseling experience working with adults in Texas. She offers services in English and Spanish.
Her LPC credential indicates state licensure to provide counseling services in Texas. Many sessions include step-by-step tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication. She often combines brief coaching tasks with therapy work to support changes between sessions.
The aim is steady progress that fits into daily life. If someone wants to begin, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Mariana is oriented toward collaborative work and practical next steps for people ready to tackle stress, anger, or recovery goals.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person’s lead, listens deeply, and adjusts what happens based on each person’s goals and values. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful, steady place to talk about stress, anger, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. In online sessions this often includes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past events cause ongoing distress. These techniques help people process difficult memories and reduce intense reactions, while building coping tools to manage triggers in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays useful and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is preferred. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, homework check-ins, or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, or caregiving demands.
