Mrs. Mariana Oceguera, Counselor
Hello! My name is Mariana Oceguera, also known as Mrs. O! I am so incredibly honored to serve as the School Counselor at Anderson Elementary. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Management from Texas A&M University and obtained my master’s degree in Education from the University of St. Thomas. This will be my seventeenth year serving as an educator in Spring ISD and I cannot wait to get this year started! As a School Counselor, my mission is to help our students rise to their highest potential by providing them with self-regulating social and emotional tools that are applicable in everyday life. We cannot always control what happens to us in our lives, but we do have the power to choose how we respond. Overcoming obstacles through resilience and self confidence is key. It is my honor to guide our gators using these paradigms along the way! Go Gators!

Counseling Services at Anderson
Individual Counseling
All students deal with difficult issues at some time during their school career. Children need caring guidance as they face conflicts with other students, the challenges of losing a loved one or dealing with stressful family changes. The counselor is here to help students work through individual problems they may be facing in order to help them be successful at school.
Group Counseling
Group counseling provides a unique opportunity for students to be encouraged by others at the same age who are facing similar problems. Counseling groups are offered according to the needs of students and may include such issues as divorce, the loss of a loved one, self-esteem or making friends.
Classroom Guidance Lessons
The most effective way to meet the needs of the greatest number of students is through providing classroom guidance lessons. These lessons may be led by the counselor or the classroom teacher. They include topics that are relevant to the entire school population, such as character education, conflict resolution skills, career development, studying and test-taking skills and drug prevention.
