01About Mark
Mark O'Laughlin is a licensed professional counselor with two decades of experience. He meets people where they are and helps them face stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship problems. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps a person can take between sessions.
Mark uses straightforward conversation to identify strengths and build from them. He often pairs skill-based work with reflective approaches to help people break unhelpful patterns. Sessions typically include goal-setting, practicing new skills, and checking what actually helps in daily life.
Background and approach
He has substantial experience running group work for people managing substance use concerns and has guided many individuals through major life changes. Mark also brings attention to issues such as sleep struggles, parenting strain, intimacy questions, and work stress. He pays attention to how family patterns and communication problems affect day-to-day living.
Clinically he commonly draws on cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, client-centered listening, Jungian perspectives, and mindfulness. These methods are used in simple, concrete ways rather than as abstract theory. He looks for what a person already does well and expands those skills for coping and growth.
Outside of therapy, Mark composes music and spends time outdoors. He practices the kinds of activities he often encourages in sessions - creative expression, movement, and routine - because he finds they help people stay grounded.

04Online support
Approaches and how online therapy fits your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a steady, respectful place to talk through concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when feelings run very high.Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way the work stays focused on real-life changes rather than fitting a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video sessions let you use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
