About Marina
Marina Escobar is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, and addiction. Marina talks with clients about practical steps they can take and looks for strengths to build on. She often works in English and Spanish to meet clients where they are.
Marina frames therapy as a team effort. She helps people identify things getting in the way and tries simple tools to reduce distress. Sessions include talking through worries, building routines for better sleep, and practicing new ways to respond to cravings or low mood.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take action. Dialectical behavior skills are included when emotion regulation or strong reactions are present.
Marina also brings a person-centered stance to sessions. That means she aims to listen closely and adapt to each person’s pace. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on important relationships and on expressing feelings more clearly.
If you are managing life change, caregiving stress, or struggles with self-esteem, she offers practical tools and steady support. She can help with communication problems, codependency patterns, and issues tied to aging or seasonal mood shifts.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
Marina often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small steps toward those values, which can help when stress or life changes feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.She also brings a client-centered stance to sessions, prioritizing careful listening and adapting to each person's pace. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which approach fits their goals and preferences.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session choices before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commutes, or allow a quieter check-in when needed. Talk with the therapist when you start so sessions match your schedule and practical needs.
