About Mark
Mark Stratton is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and anger. He supports those struggling with relationships, family conflict, low self-esteem, and life changes. He also works with clients facing bipolar symptoms, trauma and abuse, personality concerns, and issues common to young adults.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps. He listens without judgment and helps people name what they are feeling.
Background and approach
Together they set small goals to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Mark aims to build an open environment where clients can safely talk through hard topics. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and to try different ways of coping.
Sessions are collaborative, with an emphasis on what works for each person. Over his career he has seen a wide range of life challenges. That experience informs how he structures sessions and suggests strategies.
He tailors interventions to the client’s needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all answers. People choose him when they want clear steps for handling strong emotions, improving relationships, or managing major life transitions. He supports steady progress and adjusts the plan as goals change.
What Mark works with
Everything Mark lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Mark's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Mark uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can practice between sessions. One common approach is skill-building for emotion regulation, which teaches ways to identify triggers, calm intense feelings, and respond rather than react. This is helpful for anger, anxiety, and strong mood shifts.Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral strategies to change unhelpful patterns. That includes setting small goals, trying new behaviors, and tracking what helps. This method is useful for stress, low motivation, relationship struggles, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust as needed. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan fits their life and pace.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or the client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging works for brief check-ins, daily support, or when a shorter conversation fits into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent across changing routines and locations.
