About Marina

Marina Escobar is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

Marina builds a partnership with each person to identify strengths and practical ways forward. She uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people talk through what feels stuck and learn new patterns that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans. Her approach draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and other evidence-informed methods. That means Marina pays attention to emotions, values, and real-life behavior so clients can notice what matters and act on it.

She also uses tools from cognitive and mindfulness approaches to address mood, thought patterns, and stress reactions. Marina often helps people work on communication, self-esteem, coping with change, and managing anger or isolation. She also supports those dealing with caregiving stress, aging concerns, divorce or separation, and substance-related issues.

Conversations include practical skills for sleep, grief, and seasonal mood changes. She describes the work as collaborative and respectful. New clients complete a brief intake and then set goals together with the therapist.

The focus is on steady progress and building skills that fit everyday life.

How Marina’s Approaches Work Online

Marina draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions and patterns that shape relationships and personal reactions. EFT helps people notice how emotion affects behavior and guides them to try new ways of connecting with their own needs and with others.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values and committed action. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take small steps toward what matters most. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the person’s lead, listens closely, and adapts the pace and focus to each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then choose methods together in a collaborative way. That collaboration helps shape sessions and the tools used between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for more in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone can be a simpler check-in that needs less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, quick coaching, or when scheduling a longer session is difficult. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
