About Mark
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience, Mark Gutierrez focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, mood concerns, and self-regulation. He helps people build practical coping skills and strengthen existing ones so daily life becomes more manageable. Mark works in English and bases his practice on evidence-informed approaches he lists as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.
Mark’s sessions emphasize concrete skill-building. He guides people in creating new habits for emotion regulation and in practicing those skills until they fit into everyday routines. He aims for straightforward tools that reduce reactivity and increase a person’s ability to handle difficult events and stressors.
Relationship and communication style matter in his work. He describes his approach as affirming, flexible, and fair, and he prioritizes trust and understanding so people can try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on what a person needs now and on skills that support longer-term change.
Before his counseling career, Mark spent more than 15 years in education. That background informs how he teaches skills and helps people learn to apply them. He has experience with diverse backgrounds, different sexual orientations, and people affected by traumatic events.
Practical concerns Mark addresses include grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar mood management, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. He also lists work on abandonment, body image, commitment issues, guilt and shame, isolation, men’s issues, self-harm, sexuality, workplace stress, and young adult issues.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take steps toward valued actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and persistent mood concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and on practicing behavioral changes that reduce symptoms. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and for building specific coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions include experimenting with skills, reviewing what helped, and adjusting the plan together when needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time for appointments. They also let a person practice skills in their daily environment and bring real-life examples into sessions for discussion.
