About Mark Flores

Mark Flores, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings 20 years of clinical experience focused on helping people develop emotional awareness as the foundation for change. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and a range of mood and identity-related challenges, drawing on Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other approaches to tailor care to each person.

He adapts his role to fit what a client needs in the moment - sometimes serving as a collaborator and coach to support active change, and at other times offering validation and a steady presence. He places strong emphasis on the working relationship and invites ongoing feedback so treatment stays aligned with the client's goals and experience. Many people he has supported over the years have navigated substance use or felt marginalized by how they identify; together they develop practical strategies for resilience and next steps toward meaningful change.

Mark encourages open exploration of feelings and aims to create a space where clients can speak honestly about their lives, emotions, and hopes for the future.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mark Flores integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and priorities, and it is useful for relational issues, self-esteem, and navigating life changes. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it practical for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mark works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and receive support from a licensed professional without requiring in-person visits.
