About Marina
Marina Escobar is a Texas Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, and struggles with addiction. She works in both English and Spanish. Marina focuses on practical help for everyday problems, including relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes.
She listens for what matters most to each person and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions include talking through recent events, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practicing new ways of handling difficult feelings. Marina uses clear, down-to-earth language rather than jargon.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts that fuel distress and replace them with more helpful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports noticing painful feelings without getting stuck in them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.
Marina also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to keep the work grounded in each person’s values and relationships. She often combines techniques to match what someone needs in the moment. This can look like practicing a new skill in session and then trying it between meetings.
She helps people who are dealing with guilt and shame by addressing both the thoughts and the behaviors that keep those feelings active. To begin, Marina asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can discuss goals and preferences.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing painful thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. Online ACT sessions often pair brief exercises in session with simple at-home practices to build flexible coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying small behavioral changes. In online CBT, people might track thoughts between sessions and bring examples to review together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on their goals, preferences, and current challenges. That choice can shift over time as new needs appear.
The original profile does not specify particular session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper processing. Discussing timing and practical needs during the first meeting helps shape a plan that fits everyday life.
