About Marcos
Marcos (Mark) Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and regain control in daily life. He focuses on practical steps so clients can reduce anger, stress, anxiety, and symptoms that get in the way of work and relationships. Mark writes straightforward plans with respect and sensitivity, and he aims to make the first step feel doable.
Mark uses simple, evidence-informed methods rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Background and approach
Sessions typically involve learning concrete skills for handling upsetting moments, spotting unhelpful patterns, and building new coping habits. He adapts the pace and focus to each person’s needs. With six years of experience, Mark has worked with people facing depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting.
He also helps people dealing with obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, ADHD challenges, and social anxiety. His approach blends structured techniques with a client-centered style that listens first. Mark draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
He also uses acceptance and commitment methods to help people clarify values and take meaningful action despite difficult feelings. When trauma is a factor, he may incorporate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as part of a broader plan. He practices in Texas and offers sessions in English.
Mark frames therapy as a collaboration and focuses on real-world changes you can notice between visits.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. It can help with anger, depression, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is centered on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying concrete changes in behavior and routine; it is useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused approach used as one part of a plan to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and related reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods as needed, collaborating with you to pick what feels most useful. That shared decision-making helps shape session focus and homework tasks that fit your life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing prompts or reflections between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using the therapist's chosen approaches.
