About Mariel
Mariel Sanchez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and big life transitions. Mariel also focuses on issues like attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and challenges stemming from family of origin.
In sessions she uses practical conversation to help people notice patterns that get in the way. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. Mindfulness practices are offered for managing intense feelings in the moment.
Mariel keeps therapy straightforward and conversational. She helps people name what feels stuck and set short-term steps to try between meetings. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people want to build motivation for change. Existential ideas come in when questions about meaning, emptiness, or major life direction arise.
She describes herself as someone who enjoys normal life things like movies, reading, and pizza. That everyday perspective informs how she talks about work, relationships, and parenting challenges. The focus is on clear, manageable strategies rather than jargon or long frameworks.
People wanting to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process is intended to make the first appointment simple and focused on immediate concerns.
Approaches in online sessions and how they help
Mariel often blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. Client-centered work focuses on listening and clarifying what matters most to the client, which helps when someone feels directionless after a major change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and helps test small changes to reduce anxiety or improve communication. Mindfulness exercises teach simple ways to notice and sit with strong feelings so they interrupt daily life less often. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. That collaborative process shapes which methods are used and how quickly practical steps are introduced. Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent meetings while they try new strategies for stress, grief, or relationship concerns.Areas of expertise
