Clients can expect straightforward language and clear options for moving forward. Marcos brings two decades of experience while keeping the focus practical and present. He offers services in English for people located in Texas and beyond through online session formats.

Online support
Approaches for online emotion and relationship work
Marcos uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong emotions and to change the interaction patterns that keep problems active. EFT often helps when relationship distance, repeated arguments, or attachment worries are part of the problem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another part of his work; ACT helps people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and commit to small actions that match what matters most. That approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.He also incorporates Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions. Together these methods let him tailor sessions to the client’s needs while keeping the work grounded in the present. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Marcos will discuss options, check in about what feels most helpful, and adjust strategies as goals evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when convenient, phone can fit a short check-in or lower bandwidth, and text or chat can be used for ongoing reflections or brief support between sessions. These formats provide flexibility for busy schedules and for people spread across different parts of Texas who prefer remote sessions.
