About Marina
Marina Escobar is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings eight years of counseling experience and speaks both English and Spanish. She focuses on everyday struggles so people can feel steadier in daily life.
Marina helps with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, sleep problems, and addiction concerns. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her work includes attention to caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and challenges like isolation or seasonal mood shifts.
How Marina works
In sessions she emphasizes teamwork and practical steps. Conversations aim to identify strengths and build small routines that make a difference. She mixes approaches to match what a person needs and prefers in the moment.
Marina uses a blend of acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on emotion-focused and dialectical skills when strong feelings or difficult interactions arise. These methods are used to help people manage intense emotions and improve daily functioning.
People come for help with specific problems like sleep or addiction and for broader goals like more self-love and better communication. She encourages clear goals and checks progress regularly so therapy stays focused. Getting started is presented as a step-by-step process that honors the courage it takes to ask for help.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can help when worry, avoidance, or low mood get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and addiction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and shifting strong emotions in order to improve relationships and emotional safety.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time as needs change. This is a collaborative process that aims for practical progress rather than a single fixed method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues and deeper conversation matter. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates or get support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
