Marina Escobar , LPC

Marina Escobar is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of clinical experience supporting adults and families through challenging life moments. She works with people coping with depression, stress and anxiety, addictions, grief and loss, major life changes, communication struggles, self-esteem concerns, and sleep difficulties, drawing on practical strategies and empathic listening to help clients find clearer paths forward.

Marina views therapy as a collaborative partnership - she helps clients identify existing strengths and builds on those resources to address barriers and goals. Her approach is client-centered and tailored, combining evidence-informed techniques with attentiveness to each person s experience and cultural background. Prospective clients can expect a calm, supportive presence focused on empowerment and gradual progress.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Marina frames each plan around realistic steps that fit daily life, whether the priority is managing stress, improving relationships, or navigating a major transition. As an LPC, she holds state licensure to provide professional counseling services and aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented environment where clients can develop coping skills and greater self-understanding.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marina draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify personal values that guide meaningful action; this approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for mood, sleep, and anxiety management, offering structured tools to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are employed when clients need focused strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship struggles, and coping with crises.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and effective. Clients are invited to share feedback and shape the plan together.

Online sessions provide flexibility to attend therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules or access care from different locations. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Marina, use these options to maintain consistent support while adapting session formats to what works best for each client.
