About Marcos
Marcos Villareal is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, stress, grief, addiction, ADHD, and major life changes.

Marcos keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps clients spot patterns that cause pain. He uses clear tools to manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning.
Background and approach
The focus is on what a person can do differently between sessions. His approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy with acceptance and behavior-focused techniques. That means he pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions while teaching concrete skills to act on chosen values.
Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Marcos draws on client-centered principles to make therapy a respectful, nonjudgmental place. He also uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to strengthen emotional connection where relevant.
Sessions aim for small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes. Clients will find a practitioner who values clarity and practical steps. He helps people build resilience and stronger relationships, and supports work on attachment wounds, communication, and life transitions.
Marcos works in English and practices in Texas.

Online support
How attachment and acceptance work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses. Online sessions can help people identify attachment patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It suits stress, anxiety, and life changes where behavior shift matters. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, giving people space to find their own solutions and build self-trust.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide whether attachment work, ACT strategies, or a client-centered stance fits your goals. That choice can change over time as needs and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for emotion-focused work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, symptom tracking, or times when typing feels simpler than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
