About Mariana Acurio
Mariana is a pre-licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with Ellie Mental Health Woodbridge who works with children, adolescents, adults, and families. She supports clients navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and other emotional challenges.
Mariana is a hybrid therapist who provides in-person therapy for clients in Manassas, Prince William County, and surrounding Northern Virginia communities and virtual therapy for clients across Virginia.
She is passionate about creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward their goals.
Her approach to therapy is collaborative and strengths-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care. Mariana helps clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, develop effective coping skills, recognize their strengths, and work toward meaningful and lasting change.
Mariana believes therapy is a partnership. She strives to meet each client where they are with compassion, authenticity, and respect while tailoring therapy to their individual experiences, needs, and goals.
Mariana earned her Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University.
