Background and approach
Mariana explains ideas in plain language and checks in about what is and isn't working. Her work draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's lead and build trust. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change daily routines.
For people affected by past hurt, trauma-focused work helps process painful memories safely and at a manageable pace.

She speaks English and Spanish and can switch between languages during conversations when helpful.
Her background supports a wide range of concerns from grief and family strain to career stress and caregiver burnout.

When someone wants to begin, she outlines simple next steps and what to expect from online or phone sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Mariana uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's concerns and build a supportive working relationship. This approach focuses on listening, understanding, and helping people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another key method she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice small behavior changes that improve daily life and mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they will pick methods to try and adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other's expressions and work in real time. Phone sessions can fit a shorter check-in or work around bandwidth limits. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to have quick support, write down thoughts, or keep momentum between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy family schedule or a workday break.
