About Mark
Mark Gutierrez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. He works with adults who want better ways to manage strong emotions, build coping skills, and handle stressors that keep coming up in life. His practice includes support for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and anger.
Mark focuses on strengthening emotion regulation and practical coping strategies. He helps people notice what triggers intense reactions and then practices new responses that fit their values. Sessions include concrete skill-building so people can move toward more positive patterns and reduce repeated setbacks.
He values the working relationship and aims for fairness and flexibility in sessions. That relationship is used to test new ways of responding and to make sure strategies feel useful in daily life. Mark often draws on problem-solving and thought-pattern work to change how people react to stress.
Before counseling he spent more than 15 years in education. That background means he is familiar with a range of life stages and differences in culture, belief, and sexual orientation. He has experience supporting people exposed to traumatic events and to ongoing stress at work or home.
Mark holds a master’s degree in education and the LPC credential. He helps people develop both stronger existing skills and new tools to guide them forward. The focus is on practical change rather than quick fixes.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practices clearer, more effective responses; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That conversation shapes whether ACT, CBT, or client-centered listening is used and how skills practice is integrated into daily life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use video or audio in ways that let people focus on skill practice, role-play responses to triggers, and review exercises between meetings.
