About Mark
Mark Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 20 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. He also works with concerns such as gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, self-esteem, and mood disorders.
He uses a mix of approaches in sessions, drawing on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions aim to increase emotional awareness and help people notice patterns that get in the way of change. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where feedback about the work is part of every step.
Mark describes his role sometimes as a coach and sometimes as someone who validates experience. He helps people develop practical strategies for resilience and concrete steps toward change. He has particular experience with people who have dealt with substance use or who have felt marginalized because of their identity.
In conversation he encourages people to speak freely about what matters to them. He pays attention to how relationships and past attachments influence present behavior. Over time he supports building skills to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.
People who choose him should expect straightforward talk about goals and regular check-ins on progress. To start, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Mark commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns and goals. This approach helps people feel heard and guides practical next steps. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to change patterns that increase anxiety, low mood, or impulsive actions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help pick methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how best to structure meetings around work, family responsibilities, or other commitments.
