About Mark

Mark O'Laughlin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. He works with people who are anxious, depressed, coping with life changes, or facing relationship and parenting stress. He also has experience running groups for substance use and addiction.

Mark focuses on each person’s strengths and helps build practical skills for day-to-day coping. Mark uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. He often draws on Jungian therapy to explore personal meaning and symbols.

Background and approach

He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and skills-based work are part of sessions when they fit a person’s needs. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative.

Mark listens and then offers techniques and perspectives that match what a person wants to accomplish. He pays attention to coping skills, communication patterns, and emotional regulation in ways that connect to real life problems. His background includes extensive clinical work with individuals and group therapy for addiction.

That practical experience informs how he combines talk therapy with concrete exercises. He sees therapy as a partnership focused on steady, usable change. Outside of clinical work, he composes music and spends time outdoors.

These interests inform a relaxed, personable style in the counseling room.

Online support

Blending depth work and practical skills online

Mark often uses Jungian therapy to help people explore personal meaning, dreams, and symbols as part of understanding patterns in life. That approach can be useful for people wanting deeper self-understanding and insight into recurring themes.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the person’s goals and experience, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach concrete ways to change thinking and behavior. Together these approaches address both insight and day-to-day coping, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addiction recovery.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on goals, preferences, and the problems at hand. Changes are paced to match what a person wants to work on.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue work between meetings.
