About Mark
Mark Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 45 years of experience in mental health and addiction care. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. He also supports people facing substance use concerns and related trauma.
He uses straightforward, talk-based methods to help people manage strong feelings and practical problems. In sessions he focuses on understanding patterns that lead to outbursts, identifying triggers, and building skills to respond differently. He also helps people who are coping with loss and life transitions to find ways to carry on.
Mark draws on several established approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused strategies. That mix lets him shift between exploring what matters to a person and teaching concrete skills to reduce distress. He also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused work when the situation calls for them.
His long experience includes substance abuse treatment alongside mental health care, so he often addresses co-occurring problems like addiction and anxiety together. Sessions tend to balance talking about past events with practical steps for handling today’s problems. People who come to him for anger issues and relationship strain get both emotion regulation tools and straightforward problem-solving.
Mark offers services in English and accepts international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist concentrate on what matters to the client and adjust pacing to each conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions commonly include short practice exercises, homework, and step-by-step skill building for mood, panic, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies practical tools for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When used online, DBT-style coaching and skills teaching can help with anger, impulsive reactions, and relationship problems. Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative decision-making guides whether more skills practice or more reflective conversation is used. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins can be scheduled around work breaks, and video or phone options can reduce travel time. The emphasis is on making therapy work with everyday schedules rather than promising a particular format.Areas of expertise
