About Marina
Marina Escobar is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, sleep problems, and anger. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable.
Marina uses straightforward, collaborative sessions. She looks for a person’s strengths and builds practical ways to handle daily challenges. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can help this week or month.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She blends these tools to match a person’s needs rather than following one fixed method. Marina often helps people with issues around relationships, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress.
She also supports those dealing with life changes such as divorce, aging and geriatric concerns, and recovery from natural or human-caused disaster. Sessions address emotions like guilt, shame, emptiness, and low self-esteem. Practical skill-building is part of the work.
Clients can expect to practice coping strategies for mood, sleep, and anger, and to set small, achievable goals. Marina frames progress as steady steps rather than sudden fixes, and she partners with each person to find what fits their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small action steps toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep disruption. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adapt techniques accordingly. That collaborative process helps match skill-building and talk therapy to what a person needs right now.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, progress notes, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for people balancing caregiving, work, or limited travel.
