About Mark

Mark Gutierrez is an LPC in Texas who uses evidence-based therapies to help clients build stronger self-regulation and coping skills. He emphasizes practical skill development so people can manage stressors more effectively and move toward more positive experiences while reducing the hold of past difficulties.

Background and approach

With a decade of counseling experience and a background in education, he brings a focus on measurable growth and skill formation to his work. His approach centers on a supportive therapeutic relationship characterized by compassion, affirmation, flexibility, and fairness.

That environment is intended to foster healing through kindness, trust, and understanding as clients develop new strategies for emotional regulation, resilience, and day-to-day functioning. Mark lists ADHD among his areas of focus along with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and workplace and identity concerns.

Before becoming a counselor he spent more than fifteen years in education working with people from varied ethnic, religious, and sexual orientation backgrounds. His training and experience include addressing trauma and vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to identity and discrimination.

He holds a master’s degree in education and maintains licensure as an LPC in Texas.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult internal experiences instead of fighting them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Both approaches lend themselves well to online work because they emphasize skills and practices that clients can apply between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and then tailors methods accordingly, combining elements from different models when that best supports progress. Clients and the therapist revisit the plan as treatment unfolds to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and practice skills in real time with ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists.
