About Marina
Marina Escobar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience in clinical work. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people who are coping with depression, stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and major life changes.
She focuses on practical conversation and skill building. Sessions look at patterns that cause distress and at small changes people can try between meetings. Marina uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based approaches to help people notice thoughts and try different responses.
Her approach also draws on client-centered and emotion-focused ideas. That means sessions include time to clarify feelings, name what matters most, and practice how to bring those values into everyday choices. She pays attention to communication habits and offers steps for setting boundaries and handling conflict without blaming the client.
Marina has experience supporting people dealing with caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, codependency, control problems, and isolation. She also works with concerns linked to trauma, anger, guilt and shame, and adjustment after separation or loss.
People who prefer a mix of practical skills and reflective conversation tend to fit her style. She asks concrete questions and assigns doable practices between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. Online sessions can include exercises that clarify what matters, then set small behavioral steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions that can mean tracking patterns, testing new behaviors, and reviewing results together to build new habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming and processing emotions to improve how someone relates to themselves and others; it can be used in conversation-focused online sessions to practice different ways of expressing needs and responding to strong feelings.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest techniques to try. That plan can change as the work proceeds so the client’s experience guides the choice of methods.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from home or a break at work. It also lets people use written exercises and share worksheets between meetings to keep progress moving.
