About Marina
Marina Escobar is a bilingual licensed professional counselor in Texas with eight years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people manage depression, stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, and addiction challenges. Marina encourages a team approach, working with people to identify strengths and next steps. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and appreciates clients for taking that step.
Her background includes supporting people through major life changes and relationship and communication struggles. She also helps with self-esteem, parenting concerns, and issues tied to aging and caregiving stress. Codependency is one of the additional focus areas she pays attention to when it comes up in sessions.
Marina uses several evidence-based methods in her work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them, and she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates client-centered and emotion-focused ideas to build a trusting, empathetic space in sessions.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions aim to name priorities, try small experiments between meetings, and build routines that improve sleep, mood, and daily functioning. She emphasizes skills people can use right away to reduce stress and handle cravings or intense emotions.
Marina notes that cost varies with location and that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online work and change
Marina commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, value-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep disruption.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Marina works with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She encourages trying techniques for a few sessions and then adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier. It can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, or remove the need to be on camera when that feels uncomfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT skills to remote sessions, using practical tools, homework, and brief exercises that translate well to an online setting. If you want to know which formats this therapist currently uses, check the Start Therapy process and scheduling details before you book.
