01About Mark
Mark Haase is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Louisiana. He brings two decades of counseling experience and a long history in social services to his work. He speaks English and Spanish and has worked with people facing mood and anxiety concerns.
He began his career in direct care, supporting adults with developmental disabilities. He later worked in a teen homeless shelter and in crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina.
Background and approach
He has also provided mental health care to people on Medicaid, and has seen depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, panic attacks, and bipolar challenges in his practice. In sessions he focuses on helping people say what they feel and think, sometimes for the first time. He blends client-centered ideas with cognitive-behavioral techniques and motivational approaches.
That means conversations that listen first, then try simple, practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. People meet him for a range of problems including stress, addictions, eating and sleep issues, trauma and grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and career questions. He also supports work on personality-related struggles, impulsivity, loneliness, and finding life purpose.
His style is straightforward and steady. He describes therapy as both hard work and an adventure, and aims to help people become more mature and whole over time. He uses direct talk, skills practice, and collaborative planning to make progress you can notice.

04Online support
How his approaches translate to online work
Mark uses client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy as core parts of his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people name their feelings so they can decide what matters most. Cognitive-behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be practiced between sessions.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas when helpful, teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for strong reactions and relationship strain. These techniques are useful for anxiety, mood swings, impulsivity, and problems with intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will listen to your situation, goals, and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to try. That plan can change as you make progress or face new challenges, and he aims to guide that adjustment with clear feedback and shared decision making.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video lets you talk face-to-face; phone works well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Short check-ins and messaging are useful between sessions for homework, quick support, or updates. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping ongoing momentum.
