About Marcos
Marcos (Mark) Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor who offers straightforward, respectful care. He speaks in plain terms and focuses on practical steps that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. He aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Mark centers sessions on the concerns each person brings. He listens first, then helps set small, realistic goals. Conversations are tailored to what matters most to the client, whether that involves mood, relationships, work, or attention challenges such as ADHD.
Background and approach
His approach pulls from several well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports choosing actions that match personal values.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for people coping with traumatic memories when appropriate. Mark uses practical tools like breathing skills, activity planning, and communication practice. He also uses mindful awareness and skills for regulating emotion when stress or anger rise.
Sessions balance problem-solving with gentle exploration of what the client wants life to feel like. He holds a Texas LPC credential and has six years of experience working with adults on a wide range of concerns. Mark explains steps clearly and adjusts pacing to each person.
He focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when worry, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain problems, and then testing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when trauma is present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together what fits the client’s goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process may combine methods over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, reflections between sessions, or ongoing coaching-style prompts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
