About Mark
Mark Gutierrez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people build stronger coping skills and better emotional regulation. He aims to help clients strengthen what already works and create new habits that make everyday life easier. Mark uses a straightforward, supportive style that emphasizes kindness and respect.
Mark believes the relationship between counselor and client matters a great deal. He aims to offer an environment of trust and understanding where people can talk through difficult moments.
Background and approach
His approach is warm, flexible, and affirming. He draws on about 10 years of clinical experience and more than 15 years working in education. That background shaped his work with people from varied backgrounds, religious beliefs, and sexual orientations.
He has also helped people who have lived through traumatic events or who face ongoing stress at work or home. In sessions he focuses on skills that help with stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, and career concerns.
ADHD is listed among his focus areas for clients seeking support with attention and daily functioning. Mark uses practical methods that teach clear steps people can try between sessions. He emphasizes building routines, learning ways to manage strong feelings, and finding actions that move a person toward values they care about.
The goal is to make progress that feels useful in daily life.
Approach-driven care you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching small action-based experiments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and a nonjudgmental stance so people can make changes at their own pace and feel understood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mark will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Over time he adjusts tools and exercises based on what helps in real life rather than sticking strictly to one model.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can work well for shorter, frequent touchpoints and for people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to schedule care around work, school, and family commitments while still using the same therapeutic approaches.
