About Mark
Mark Beal, LPC helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. He focuses on practical steps that make daily life more manageable. His style is patient and direct, aimed at helping clients accept themselves and make steady progress.
Beal draws on Client-Centered Therapy alongside cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. That means sessions often center on the client’s goals and perspectives, while also teaching skills for coping and managing difficult thoughts and feelings. He includes elements of existential and Jungian thought when they fit a person’s concerns, such as exploring meaning or working with dreams.
He brings 27 years of experience supporting adults through loss, medical challenges, caregiver stress, and long-term mood conditions like bipolar disorder. He also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and issues common to young adults.
Education includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling, and he holds an LPC license in Texas. Sessions are conducted in English and designed to address both immediate problems and longer-term personal growth.
People who choose him can expect a collaborative, steady process that balances empathic listening with concrete tools. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s intake steps to match and schedule sessions according to availability.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, follows what matters most to the person, and helps them set goals that feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills to manage upsetting thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new concerns appear.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between meetings, which supports skill practice and steady progress.
