Approaches and online care with Mark Flores
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive environment in which the client’s experience guides the work. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is heard, and helps clients explore feelings and values so they can make choices that align with their goals and identity.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by identifying specific thoughts and beliefs, testing them, and learning practical skills to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, or problematic coping. This approach is action-oriented and often includes skill practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce impulsive behaviors. It teaches concrete skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Mark works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. He uses the first sessions to tailor a plan that may blend techniques for the best fit.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support and practical skill-building in a format that fits the client’s life.
