Roxane Marines, LPC

Roxane Marines is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, parenting strains, trauma and abuse, and challenges around self-esteem and intimacy. Roxane prioritizes clear, compassionate conversation so concerns can be named and worked through together.

She emphasizes practical steps that fit everyday life. Sessions focus on skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and rebuilding trust after harm. Roxane uses straightforward tools to reduce overwhelm and make change feel possible in small, steady steps.

Her work draws from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. That mix supports identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthening relationships, and honoring each person’s lived experience. She also uses strategies from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when they match a client's goals.

Roxane often helps people navigate major life changes like career shifts, caregiving demands, grief, or separation. She also supports issues such as ADHD, chronic illness, codependency, and caregiver stress by tailoring plans to each situation. The focus is on what a person wants to achieve and practical ways to get there.

Conversations in sessions are nonjudgmental and goal-directed. Roxane works with clients to set clear priorities and practice new skills between visits. She encourages steady progress and respects each person’s pace toward a calmer, more manageable life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Roxane uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. CBT often involves setting small, practical tasks and tracking patterns between sessions to make steady progress.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. This approach helps people improve communication and feel more secure in their important relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Clients help decide which strategies to keep and what to change as therapy moves forward.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets people see one another and practice conversations in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, coaching-style reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work even when travel or time is limited.
