Mariana Flores , LPC

Mariana Flores is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience working with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep difficulties, low motivation, self-esteem challenges, and depression.

She builds a therapeutic relationship grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s individual needs and goals. Mariana emphasizes a collaborative approach that honors a person’s pace and priorities while offering practical strategies for managing symptoms and strengthening coping skills.

Recognizing that beginning therapy can feel difficult, she acknowledges that step and offers steady support throughout the process. Mariana aims to create a space where people can explore concerns, regain confidence, and pursue meaningful change at a manageable pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mariana uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful and empathic space where the person’s own values and goals guide the work. This approach helps people who need support exploring feelings, building self-awareness, and making decisions at their own pace.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, useful for managing anxiety, depression, motivation difficulties, and sleep concerns.

For those coping with traumatic experiences, Mariana incorporates trauma-focused therapy techniques that emphasize safety, stabilization, and gradual processing of difficult memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Mariana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue care from home or other convenient locations. These options help maintain continuity of support while accommodating different communication styles and schedules, allowing therapists and licensed professionals to focus on effective, person-centered care.
