About Mark
Mark Flores is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate strong emotions and life changes. He centers emotional awareness as the first step toward change and meets each person with practical support and steady attention. He uses straightforward conversations and tried approaches to help people reduce stress, manage anger, and cope with anxiety or depression.
Sessions often include goal-focused work and skills practice so people leave with tools they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Mark also brings an understanding of substance use and issues faced by people who feel marginalized by their identity. He adapts his style to each person - sometimes acting as a coach who offers structure, and sometimes as a listener who validates what someone has been through.
He pays close attention to the working relationship and asks for feedback so therapy stays useful and on track. Mark blends several methods including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets him address immediate coping skills and deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.
People come to him for help with anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, bipolar and mood disorders, and other stressors. He works with adults in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel understood and supports them in finding their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines emotion regulation skills, distress tolerance, and relationship strategies to help manage intense feelings and impulsive actions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan so sessions match the person's needs and pace.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction when that helps. Phone calls can be easier on low bandwidth days or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when written communication feels clearer. These options make it easier to keep consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
