About Mark
Mark O'Laughlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, or big life changes. He talks with clients about relationship strain, parenting concerns, sleep problems, anger, and self-esteem in straightforward ways.
He draws on several approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs. Mark uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking patterns that add to distress.
Background and approach
He also works with client-centered methods that emphasize the person's own goals and pace. Gottman Method ideas inform his views on communication and conflict, while dialectical behavior therapy skills can be used for emotional regulation and coping. He also integrates Jungian perspectives and mindfulness practices to help people explore meaning and stay grounded.
Mark has led group work with people facing substance concerns and offers individual work for a broad set of problems. He focuses on strengths and practical skills rather than abstract labels. Sessions are conversational and task-oriented when needed, with homework or skill practice sometimes included.
Outside of practice he composes music and spends time outdoors. Those interests influence his relaxed, flexible style and his focus on recovery that fits everyday life.

Online support
Using therapy approaches online to build skills and connection
Mark often draws on the Gottman Method to look at communication patterns and conflict habits that affect close relationships, using focused exercises to improve how people talk and listen. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-centered therapy is part of his work too, putting the client's goals and pace at the center and helping people feel heard as they set the agenda.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy itself. He works collaboratively to try methods that fit a person's goals and preferences, adjusting techniques if something does not feel helpful. Over time he and the client check progress and switch focus as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that need visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and fit support into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible for work, family, and travel schedules.
