About Marina

Marina Escobar is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings eight years of clinical experience and works with people facing depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, and grief. She also helps with sleep problems, self-esteem, communication struggles, and major life changes.

Marina focuses on building a collaborative relationship. She treats the first sessions as a chance to learn what matters most to the individual and to identify strengths that can be put to work. Her style aims to be straightforward and supportive so people can feel heard and take practical steps forward.

She draws on several evidence-based approaches, using them to match each person’s needs rather than following a single method. Sessions often include skill practice, values clarification, and ways to manage difficult emotions in daily life. Marina talks with clients about small, doable changes they can try between visits.

Marina has additional experience addressing caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, codependency, and problems tied to relationships and family dynamics. She can also help people cope with natural or human-caused disaster and related disruption.

Services are offered in English and Spanish. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist’s availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what they value and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It often focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and functioning, and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions in relationships and helps people understand emotional responses and create new interaction patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then recommend methods that fit those goals. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins, or sessions without video when that better matches their needs. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or EFT techniques to work well in remote sessions, focusing on skills practice, values work, and emotion work that transfer into everyday life.
