01About Mark
Mark Silla draws on 17 years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain and other life challenges. He holds the LPCC credential, which is noted here in context, and delivers care from New Mexico for local and international clients. He prioritizes the person over labels and meets each client where they are.
He uses a mix of approaches selected for the individual's needs. That can mean client-centered work that follows a person's pace, or practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, EMDR, and hypnotherapy when those methods fit the situation. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday tools. Mark helps people identify patterns, practice new skills, and test small changes between meetings.
He talks through coping strategies for grief, trauma, bipolar mood shifts, anger, intimacy issues, and career stresses. His style is direct but respectful. He treats clients as people first and problems second.
The work often includes skill teaching, structured exercises, and reflection to build lasting change. Mark offers remote options like video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. International clients may participate in sessions.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

Practical approaches for online therapy
Mark blends client-centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and DBT skills in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following a person's pace to build trust and insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises that translate well to video or phone sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over chat or video.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to recommend a plan. Together the client and therapist try methods, adjust as needed, and track what helps most over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work in real time and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, skill coaching, or when someone prefers typing. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, travel, and clients who live outside the therapist's state.
