About Mariel
Mariel Sanchez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping clients identify practical steps toward feeling more grounded and capable. Mariel combines empathic listening with structured tools to address concerns like abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication breakdowns, control issues, separation and divorce, emptiness, and immigration-related adjustment.
Her practice integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, existential reflection, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to match each person’s needs. Mariel aims to create a collaborative environment where clients examine thoughts and patterns, build coping skills, and clarify values that guide change.
Outside of work she enjoys movies, reading, and a good slice of pizza, interests she says contribute to a balanced perspective that informs her therapeutic style.
Online approaches that combine practical tools and personal reflection
Mariel frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn concrete strategies to reduce anxiety or manage stress; this approach emphasizes skill-building and problem-focused work. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes each person’s experience and helps people feel heard while they explore goals and choices. Existential elements are used to examine meaning, values, and life transitions, which can be helpful for clients facing grief, identity questions, or major changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Mariel works with clients to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts interventions as progress unfolds. This teamwork helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and practical for everyday life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing for flexibility around work, family, and location. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives and support continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible, while enabling licensed professionals to deliver structured therapeutic work and ongoing support.
