About Mark
Mark Flores is an LCSW with two decades of clinical experience working in Texas. He approaches therapy as a collaborative process, blending practical techniques and empathic listening to help people increase emotional awareness and move toward change.
Background and approach
His work often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside motivational interviewing and other evidence-informed methods, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and preferences. He aims to be both a coach and a validating presence depending on what a client needs in the moment, and emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship as part of the process.
Flores draws on a range of approaches including DBT and psychodynamic ideas when they suit a person’s goals, and focuses on building strategies for resilience and concrete steps toward healthier coping. Many clients he has seen have faced substance use or feelings of marginalization related to identity, and his practice includes attention to those concerns.
Sessions are offered through various online formats and are scheduled according to availability, with subscription-based arrangements that can be adjusted or canceled. He works in English and is licensed in Texas (TX LCSW 58513).
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist supports a person’s own process of discovery and change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skill-building in emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness with acceptance strategies, and can be helpful for intense emotions and coping under pressure.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to sessions. This means techniques may be blended and adjusted over time as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing schedules or who prefer remote care. These formats make it possible to access ongoing support from a licensed professional and to use practical therapeutic tools consistently across day-to-day life.
