About Mark
Mark Miele is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with 10 years of experience. He works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship and family concerns, and trauma. He also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, career stress, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Mark approaches sessions with the belief that each person understands their own story. He treats clients as the primary source of knowledge about their lives and helps them use their strengths to manage difficult moments. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
In practice he uses client-centered therapy to keep the focus on the client's experience and priorities. He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thought patterns that keep problems going, and he uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice how stress shows up in their body and mind. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change addictive behavior or build new habits. Sessions aim to be clear, goal-oriented, and respectful of the client's pace.
Mark's background includes a decade of clinical work in Alabama. He frames work as collaboration - the client sets goals and he brings methods to try and test. People who want concrete tools for anger, mood, or addictive behaviors will find an approach focused on skills and steady progress.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy keeps focus on the client's priorities and what matters most to them. Online sessions using this approach let the client guide topics and decide which problems to tackle first. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and helps people test new ways of responding. It is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and many mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, then suggest CBT, DBT skills, or mindfulness practices where they fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as goals evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins or video meetings when that better fits a work break or schedule. Discussing what will work in daily life is part of the first session so sessions can be shaped to practical needs.
