Mariel Sanchez , LPC

Mariel Sanchez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. She emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic approach that helps individuals explore their thoughts and emotions while building practical skills to manage stress and navigate life transitions.

Mariel aims to cultivate a supportive environment in which clients can work toward clearer understanding and meaningful change. Her practice focuses on listening closely to each person’s story and tailoring interventions to fit their needs and goals, blending structured techniques with an attentive, person-centered stance.

Outside of her professional work, Mariel enjoys watching movies, reading, and savoring a good slice of pizza, and she views a well-rounded personal life as complementary to her effectiveness as a therapist. Mariel is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Mariel integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens and reflects so clients can better understand their feelings and values - this approach can be helpful for relationship concerns, family issues, and feelings of emptiness. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, making it a practical option for managing anxiety, stress, and mood-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mariel collaborates with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress and meet changing circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer greater flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those who prefer remote sessions. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support across different settings while making it easier to access care from home or work.
