About Mark
Mark Gutierrez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and young adult issues. Mark helps people strengthen coping skills and build emotional regulation so everyday pressures feel more manageable.
He uses practical, skills-based work to expand what people already do well. That means talking through current struggles, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying new behavioral strategies in small steps. The aim is to create habits that reduce reactivity and increase choices in difficult moments.
Mark values the counseling relationship and keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He works with people from varied backgrounds and with a range of concerns including LGBT issues, workplace stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. His work has included people affected by trauma and post-traumatic stress.
In sessions he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These approaches inform how he helps people notice thoughts and feelings, practice new responses, and commit to actions that matter to them.
People who come to him often want relief from anxiety, better mood regulation, help after a loss, or clearer direction at work or school. Mark encourages steady skill-building so clients can handle setbacks and make progress toward daily goals.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and work or school stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress and needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, work shifts, or other daily commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and options that do not require being on camera if that helps someone engage. Ask about specific session types when you schedule so practical arrangements match your routine.
