Marcos (Mark) Garza, LPC

Marcos (Mark) Garza is a Texas-licensed LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) who helps people work toward the lives they want. He brings a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach to each therapeutic relationship, shaping conversations and treatment plans to match the specific needs and goals of each client.

He focuses on building a collaborative process so that treatment reflects an individual's values and circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Marcos recognizes that reaching out for support takes courage and that the first step toward greater fulfillment can feel daunting. He is committed to supporting clients through that initial step and throughout the ongoing work of change.

In practice he adapts his style and interventions to fit a client's unique situation, offering clear, patient guidance while honoring each person's pace. Prospective clients can expect an attentive, goal-oriented partner in therapy who emphasizes dignity, understanding, and practical strategies to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate their actions. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, which can support work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client as the expert on their own experience. The therapist offers empathy, unconditional positive regard, and reflective listening to help clients explore feelings, strengthen self-understanding, and build self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. It uses practical, skills-based techniques to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and other common concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marcos (Mark) Garza works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods and combines strategies when that better serves the client's aims.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other commitments and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that are convenient for them, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who provide regular, structured support.
