Mark Haase, LMFT, LPC

Mark Haase is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Louisiana with 20 years of experience in social services and counseling. He has worked in group homes, homeless shelters, crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina, and as a Licensed Mental Health Professional with Medicaid clients. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, ADHD, OCD, panic, bipolar concerns, and anger.

He describes counseling as a place to express feelings and thoughts, sometimes for the first time. Sessions focus on practical conversation and clear steps rather than jargon. He combines Rogerian ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Enhancement to keep things direct and useful.

In sessions he listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep problems going. That can mean spotting thought habits that fuel anger, building small behavior changes, or practicing skills for calmer reactions. He uses straightforward exercises and real-world practice rather than abstract theory.

Mark draws on long experience in crisis and community settings. That background shapes a no-nonsense way of working with stress, addiction, grief, sleep problems, intimacy issues, and career concerns. He also addresses personality features such as avoidant or dependent styles when they affect everyday life.

People who stick with counseling with him focus on clearer thinking and more dependable ways of responding under pressure. He notes that therapy takes effort and that steady work often brings more mature coping. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and he accepts international clients.
