About Mari

Mari Flores is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or depression. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on ten years of experience supporting people through family conflict and communication problems. Mari aims to make starting therapy a clear, manageable step for worried parents and adults alike.

She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps - talking through current struggles, noticing patterns that get in the way, and trying small changes to test what helps. Mari offers straightforward guidance and steady encouragement without jargon. Her work often centers on issues common to women and young adults, including self-love and regaining motivation.

She helps people sort relationship concerns and improve how they talk with others. When depression or anxiety make everyday things harder, she uses clear tools to restore routine and hope. Mari’s background as a California licensed clinical social worker informs a realistic, resource-based approach.

She draws on a decade of practice to help people set doable goals and track progress. The aim is steady improvement rather than sudden fixes. Therapy sessions are conversational and goal-focused.

Mari supports clients as they try new ways of coping and build confidence. She frames change as a step-by-step process and stays alongside people as they work toward a more manageable life.

Online support

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Mari uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on behavior and thought patterns. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking. This method is useful for anxiety and low mood because it targets daily habits that keep problems going.

Another approach centers on behavioral activation - planning small, achievable activities to rebuild energy and interest. This is often used for depression and motivation struggles, helping clients restore routines and feel more engaged with life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which steps to keep or change as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain regular contact with licensed professionals.
