Marcos (Mark) Garza, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Marcos

Marcos (Mark) Garza is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and family issues. He aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where someone can talk through immediate problems and plan workable steps forward. His style is straightforward and supportive for folks who want clear tools and steady encouragement.

Mark adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.

Background and approach

He uses techniques from evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help with mood, worry, and everyday coping. He also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and from EMDR for trauma-related work when appropriate.

With six years of clinical experience and a Texas LPC license, he focuses on helping people shape changes they can live with. He addresses issues like grief, intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD-related challenges. He can also help with panic, obsessions and compulsions, PTSD symptoms, and social anxiety.

Sessions may include practical exercises, skill practice, and conversational reflection to make progress between meetings. The therapist emphasizes collaboration and adjusts pace to match each person’s comfort level. Parents or guardians looking for family and parenting resources will find an orientation toward real-world problem solving.

All sessions are conducted in English and run through online formats that fit different schedules. People can expect clear next steps after early sessions and help tailoring strategies to daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online counseling options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify their values and take small action steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured method used for processing traumatic memories and related distress when trauma is part of the problem.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest one or more methods to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what needs more focus.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats let people fit sessions into busy schedules, use shorter check-ins when needed, and keep working on skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide sessions to match each persons situation while offering practical tools and regular follow-up.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
