How Mariana works
She also uses emotion-focused work to strengthen how people understand and manage strong feelings. Mariana blends client-centered care with evidence-informed techniques. That means the person she is meeting with helps guide what happens in sessions.
She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify thought patterns and on trauma-focused methods to address painful memories when needed. People who talk with her can expect straightforward conversations and concrete skills to try between meetings. She often uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and sustain progress.
Over time the work aims to reduce symptoms and build reliable ways to cope with everyday stressors. Mariana’s background includes seven years practicing in Texas as an LPC. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and tailors methods to fit each person’s goals, culture, and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and values. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person set their own goals. This approach is useful for building trust and finding what matters most to the individual.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses traumatic memories and reactions with structured techniques to lessen their daily impact when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mariana collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most and on feedback from the person in therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video is helpful for a full conversation when schedules allow, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options support flexibility and make it easier to maintain regular work on goals.
