About Mark
Mark Beal is an LPC who focuses on helping adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life transitions. He aims to support people in accepting themselves while guiding them toward practical, positive changes.
Background and approach
With 27 years of clinical experience, he brings sustained commitment to clients navigating trauma, relationship strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Beal blends evidence-informed techniques with reflective, depth-oriented work.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address patterns of thought and behavior, and incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation when appropriate. He also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives to explore meaning, values, and personal narratives, including work with dreams from a Jungian viewpoint.
Beal trained in psychology and holds a master’s degree in counseling, and he is licensed in Texas as LPC 13617. Sessions aim to balance practical coping strategies with exploration of deeper themes, and his practice includes attention to caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice-related counseling, and issues common to young adults.
He offers services in English and does not accept international clients at this time.
Integrating skill-based and depth-oriented therapy online
Mark Beal commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to offer both practical skill-building and emotional regulation strategies. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while DBT provides tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. He also employs Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative, empathetic space where the client’s concerns and goals guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best for their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean emphasizing CBT skills in some periods and exploring existential or Jungian themes at other times, depending on what the person wants to address.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments and allow ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions across these formats to help clients pursue meaningful change while accommodating their daily routines.
