Marcos (Mark) Garza, LPC

Marcos (Mark) Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, life changes, and relationship or parenting concerns. He aims to offer straightforward support so clients can take practical steps toward feeling better.

Mark centers sessions on the person in front of him. He listens with respect and adapts conversations to each client's needs. He emphasizes clear, doable strategies rather than jargon, and works with people who want concrete tools for day-to-day life.

His approach blends several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix lets him target unhelpful thinking, build values-based goals, and keep the client’s priorities central to treatment. Sessions often combine talking, skill practice, and planning for real situations.

Mark has six years of professional experience and draws on that background when helping people cope with trauma, grief, obsessions and compulsions, panic, social anxiety, and midlife shifts. He also supports those struggling with intimacy, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges.

People who prefer a clear, goal-oriented style may find his way of working helpful. He encourages small, realistic steps and regular check-ins to see what’s changing. If someone wants practical tools and a respectful, direct conversation, Mark offers that kind of support.

How his approaches work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing the behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, panic, depression, obsessive thoughts, and managing everyday stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It often supports coping with life changes and improving long-term motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they match real needs and practical aims.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other daily demands while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
