About Mark
Mark Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 45 years of experience in mental health and addiction work. He focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship or family concerns. Mark aims to bring practical tools and steady support to people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
He uses straightforward, collaborative methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what is going on now and on small changes that make daily life easier. He often helps people manage panic, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt or shame related to past events.
Mark has long experience with substance use and co-occurring mental health issues. He has worked with people coping with trauma, depression, and moral injury from caregiving or hospice situations. He also supports clients dealing with life transitions and questions about life purpose.
In sessions he draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior tools, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods. That mix lets him tailor practical steps to each person and focus on skills people can use between visits.
Mark provides care from Michigan and offers services in English. He welcomes people who identify as LGBT and attends to intimacy-related concerns and compassion fatigue. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process and schedule sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their goals first. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's pace, helping them name what matters and try different ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, and depression symptoms.These approaches are often blended so sessions include both listening and active skill work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then choose approaches together. Finding the right mix is treated as a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions help them practice new skills in real-life settings, or let them keep therapy going while managing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
