About Mark
Mark O'Laughlin, LPC, focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, and relationship strain. He offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and life transitions. His approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at easing daily struggles and improving coping skills.
With 20 years of experience, Mark draws on methods that fit each person’s needs. He often uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also brings in client-centered listening and mindfulness to calm reactivity and build self-awareness.
Background and approach
Mark has led group work with people managing substance use and has long helped individuals facing trauma, sleep problems, parenting stress, and work-related burnout. He looks for personal strengths and helps people use those as a starting point for change. He also pays attention to codependency and communication problems when they come up.
Sessions tend to focus on skill building and small, practical steps. That might include thought-challenging exercises, emotion regulation techniques drawn from dialectical behavior ideas, or reflective work inspired by Jungian perspectives. The aim is to create tools people can use between sessions.
Outside of practice, Mark composes music and spends time outdoors. His style is collaborative and respectful, and he aims to help people feel more steady and capable as they face difficult situations.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Mark commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, anger, and mood problems. Client-centered therapy relies on listening and building a respectful relationship so clients can explore concerns at their own pace.He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas when strong emotions or self-regulation are an issue. Those techniques teach concrete skills for managing intense feelings, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines and then recommend strategies that fit those needs. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively what to try and adjust the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual connection, phone calls can be easier during short breaks, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
