How Mariana works
She is experienced with problems linked to addiction, immigration, isolation and feelings of guilt or shame. Mariana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts the approach to each person's situation. She sees how family, social context, identity and biology interact to shape a person's struggles.
Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a fixed formula. Her background includes work as a researcher and college professor, which she draws on to keep her practice informed by current knowledge. Mariana aims to be respectful and sensitive in sessions and to help people feel heard and understood.
Starting therapy with her involves a collaborative process to set clear, practical goals. She emphasises short, manageable steps and practical strategies alongside reflective discussion to help people make change in everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Mariana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Integrative methods allow her to combine different strategies to match a person's needs, for example mixing practical exercises with reflective discussion to address relationship or self-esteem concerns.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful. This collaborative process looks at goals, preferences and how a person likes to work, so adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers a flexible way to meet when it suits a person's life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel and let people choose what feels most practical for them.
