About Mark
Mark Gutierrez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on building stronger coping skills and emotional regulation. He centers sessions on practical skill building so people can handle stress and move toward more positive experiences. He uses straightforward tools to help with anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and the aftereffects of trauma.
Sessions aim to strengthen what already works for a person and add new skills that make daily life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Mark places a lot of weight on the counseling relationship. He describes his style as compassionate, affirming, flexible, and fair. He believes that healing is more likely when people feel understood and treated with kindness.
Before becoming a counselor he spent more than fifteen years working in education. That background brought regular contact with people from varied backgrounds, beliefs, and life experiences. He has worked with people who have experienced trauma and with those facing workplace stress, bullying, or identity-related pressures.
In sessions he draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and trauma-focused methods. The goal is practical change: clearer choices, better self-regulation, and tools to manage anger, relationship strain, or career stress. He offers care in English and works from Texas as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
People looking for focused skill work and steady support often find his approach grounded and direct.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive relationship where the therapist listens carefully and reflects back what is heard, helping people build self-direction and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's specific goals, needs, and preferences, and may blend techniques as progress is made. This collaborative planning helps focus sessions on real-life skill building and problem solving.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a person's routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit brief check-ins or times with low bandwidth, live chat suits quick written exchanges, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to keep appointments around work, school, or caregiving demands while still working on anger management, coping skills, and emotional regulation.
