About Mariana

Mariana Flores is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem challenges, and motivation concerns, and she also addresses a wide range of related issues such as addictions, grief, eating and body-image struggles, and compassion fatigue.

Mariana aims to tailor care to each client's situation by listening closely and building treatment plans that reflect individual strengths and goals. Her style blends evidence-informed techniques with empathy and respect for each person’s story.

Mariana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and trauma-focused methods to help clients examine unhelpful thinking patterns, process difficult emotions, and develop practical coping skills. She offers services in both English and Spanish and works with people facing life transitions, career stress, parenting challenges, chronic health concerns, and other complex problems.

Mariana frames therapy as a collaborative effort and supports clients through gradual, goal-oriented steps toward better functioning and greater self-understanding.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. It focuses on practical tools and behavioral experiments that people can use between sessions to notice change over time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens carefully and supports a client-led exploration of goals and values. This approach is helpful when people need space to process emotions and build self-directed solutions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to understand their priorities, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That partnership allows techniques like CBT or client-centered work to be blended and tailored rather than applied rigidly.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographic constraints, or varying comfort levels with remote work. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between meetings, and fit therapy into daily life while working with a licensed professional in Texas.
