Who I Am
Marco Villegas is a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in the State of Texas (LPC). He is the founder and sole therapist at KMF Counseling Solutions, PLLC — a 100% telehealth private practice serving adult professionals across Texas.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, Marco brings a background shaped by real-world complexity: growing up bicultural, serving as a U.S. Navy veteran, and building a career dedicated entirely to helping professionals reclaim their mental and emotional well-being.
Sessions are available in both English and Spanish. Marco is a native Spanish speaker and a member of the Latino community — fluent not just in the language, but in the lived experience many of his clients carry.
KMF Counseling Solutions is based in Austin, Texas and serves clients statewide via HIPAA-compliant telehealth.
Who I Help
You work hard. You deliver. And on paper, your life looks like it’s working.
But underneath the professional confidence and the calendar packed with responsibilities, there’s a version of you that’s exhausted — one that lies awake running the same anxious loops, one that has been carrying cultural expectations so long they feel like your own skin, one that quietly wonders when things will finally feel as settled as they look from the outside.
That’s the person I built this practice for.
I specialize in working with:
- Adult professionals in Texas navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, work/life balance, and major life transitions.
- Latino and Hispanic professionals managing the intersection of cultural identity, professional pressure, and the unspoken expectation to carry everything without complaint.
- Bicultural and first-generation professionals who feel the weight of success differently — as both a gift and a burden.
- High-functioning adults who have managed everything on their own for a long time and are ready for something more sustainable.
- Adults seeking bilingual therapy — sessions fully available in English, Spanish, or both.
How I Work
I don’t believe therapy should feel like a checklist. Growth happens in a relationship — one built on trust, honesty, and genuine collaboration between you and your therapist.
My work is grounded in four evidence-based approaches, which I integrate based on what fits you best:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
A structured, skills-based approach that helps you build emotional resilience, regulate intense emotions, and improve your ability to tolerate distress without making things worse. DBT is especially effective for anxiety, chronic stress, and the kind of emotional overwhelm that shows up in high-pressure professional environments.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Rooted in mindfulness practices and cognitive techniques, MBCT helps you recognize and interrupt the thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression. Rather than fighting your mind, you learn to observe it — and that changes everything.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Some of what drives us today has roots we haven’t examined in a long time. Psychodynamic work helps you understand how past experiences, family patterns, and relational history shape your current feelings and behaviors — so you can make conscious choices instead of repeating unconscious ones.
Person-Centered Therapy
At the foundation of everything I do is the belief that you are the expert on your own life. My role isn’t to tell you what to do — it’s to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered to trust yourself again.
Who I Am Not the Right Fit For
Being honest about fit is part of good care. I want you to find exactly the right support — even if that’s not me.
KMF Counseling Solutions is not the right fit if you need:
- Crisis intervention or psychiatric emergency services — If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room.
- Child or adolescent therapy — I work exclusively with adults (18+).
- Couples or relationship counseling — I provide individual therapy only.
- Court-ordered evaluations or forensic assessments.
- Intensive outpatient or residential-level care — My practice is designed for adults functioning at an outpatient level.
- Medication management — I am a licensed counselor, not a psychiatrist or medical provider. I do not prescribe or manage medication.
If you’re not sure whether we’re the right fit, a free 15-minute consultation is the best place to start. No pressure, no commitment — just a real conversation.
Ready to Find Out If We’re the Right Fit?
The first step doesn’t have to be a big one. A free 15-minute consultation gives us a chance to connect, talk about what’s been weighing on you, and figure out together whether KMF is the right place for you to land.
Bilingual care. Sessions available in English, Spanish, or both — naturally, without translation feeling like a second thought.
Culturally grounded. I understand what it means to navigate two worlds, carry family expectations, and succeed professionally while your inner world is working harder than anyone around you knows.
Evidence-based and personalized. I don’t use a one-size-fits-all model. Your story shapes your treatment — always.
100% telehealth. Secure, HIPAA-compliant sessions from wherever you are in Texas. No commute. No waiting room. Just focused, private support.
