About Marcos

Marcos (Mark) Garza is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who focuses on helping people reduce stress, manage anxiety and depression, and navigate major life transitions. He emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate stance while working with clients to identify practical steps toward the life they want.

Background and approach

With six years of professional experience, Mark adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s particular needs and circumstances. He draws from several evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered techniques, and EMDR when appropriate.

This range allows him to address concerns such as trauma and grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family dynamics, anger and self-esteem, as well as obsessive thoughts, panic, and social anxiety. Mark presents therapy as a collaborative process, supporting clients as they take the often-difficult first step toward change and a more fulfilling life.

Online Therapy Approaches and Practical Access

Marcos (Mark) Garza often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD-related concerns. ACT emphasizes values-based action and present-moment awareness, helping clients who are coping with life changes, grief, or chronic stress to move toward meaningful goals despite difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt the plan over time as progress and challenges become clearer. This shared decision-making helps tailor online care to each person's situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible for varied schedules. These formats allow clients to engage from different locations and to pick the communication style that best supports their comfort and consistency in care.
