About Marcos
Marcos (Mark) Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes. He’s direct but warm, aiming to make sessions feel practical and understandable for people juggling busy lives.
Mark uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and tools from mindfulness and dialectical behavior work to manage intense feelings.
How Marcos works
He also offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when past trauma is part of the struggle. In sessions he focuses on clear goals and simple steps. Conversations are tailored to the person, with concrete skills to try between meetings.
He spends time learning what matters most to the client and adjusts the plan as progress happens. Mark has six years of professional experience as an LPC in Texas. That background includes helping people cope with parenting stress, relationship concerns, intimacy issues, obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and ADHD-related challenges.
He treats grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and midlife transitions as well. People can expect straightforward guidance, steady support, and practical strategies. The therapist aims to create a respectful space where people can take the next step toward the life they want.

Online support options
Practical online approaches and flexible care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take action toward them even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches concrete skills to change behaviors and feelings. It often helps with panic, obsessive thinking, and social anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of distress linked to traumatic memories by processing those memories in targeted sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works. That shared decision-making helps match techniques to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work on stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, and other concerns without long commutes.
