About Mark
Mark Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people make meaningful changes in their lives. He focuses on building emotional awareness and practical steps forward. He aims to be both a collaborator and a steady presence during the work.
He uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. Sessions often include talking through patterns, practicing new skills, and setting small goals that feel doable.
How Mark works
He pays attention to how the relationship is going and asks for feedback so therapy fits the person, not the other way around. Many people who come to him have struggled with substance use or with feeling marginalized because of their identity. He helps people develop resilience and concrete strategies for change.
That might look like identifying triggers, creating coping plans, or practicing communication skills. Mark works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and mood disorders. He also addresses specific topics such as attachment wounds, codependency, body image, gender dysphoria, and HIV/AIDS related concerns.
Sessions are practical and conversational. He balances validation with tools you can use between meetings. The focus is on steady progress and on helping people feel more capable in daily life.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience, offering acceptance and reflection to help them explore what matters most. It often helps when someone needs a supportive place to talk through identity, grief, or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching skill-based strategies and homework exercises.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's goals, needs, and preferences in a collaborative way. That means trying approaches, reviewing progress, and adjusting as needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual cues, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins, live chat supports shorter exchanges during a busy day, and text-based messaging can help people process thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep consistent momentum toward change.
