About Mark
Mark Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 45 years of experience in mental health and substance use work. He focuses on practical, straightforward help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, trauma, and anger. His approach aims to give clear tools and steady support for everyday challenges.
Mark draws on client-centered methods to build trusting conversations. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
He also incorporates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-focused work when someone needs skills for intense emotions or to process past harm. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Mark works to break big problems into manageable steps.
He helps people develop coping skills, address control issues, and reduce panic or social anxiety symptoms. He has a long record helping people facing loss, end-of-life concerns, and the complicated feelings that follow addiction and recovery. Career and life-purpose questions are also a common focus, along with shame and guilt that can hold people back.
Mark offers sessions in English and is based in Michigan. He accepts international clients and uses flexible online formats so people can fit care into busy lives. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match goals with the right plan.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Mark blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage difficult emotions and change unhelpful habits. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation so people feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives practical exercises to test new ways of coping.He also uses dialectical behavior therapy ideas when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed. DBT-style skills teach breathing, grounding, and interpersonal strategies that reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making. Together these approaches address issues such as anger, panic, social anxiety, trauma reactions, and addictive behaviors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online therapy offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so care can fit into busy schedules. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep consistent work on goals.
