About Mark
Mark Silla is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of experience. He centers the person rather than a diagnosis and helps people identify what lies behind their presenting problems. Sessions focus on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so clients can move toward their life goals.
He draws from several styles instead of using just one method. That allows him to tailor each session to what a client actually needs. He listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and works with clients to try new ways of thinking and acting.
Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and trauma and abuse. He also helps with relationship issues, intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, bipolar management, and coping with life changes. These topics often overlap, and sessions can shift to reflect what is most pressing.
In practice he uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. He may also incorporate EMDR and hypnotherapy when those approaches fit the goals a person brings. The focus is on straightforward strategies clients can use between sessions.
Mark works from New Mexico and communicates in English. People considering therapy can expect a collaborative approach that balances problem-solving with exploring deeper causes. To move forward he asks curious questions and helps clients try small changes that add up over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a working relationship. Online sessions using this approach center on listening closely and helping clients steer conversations toward their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and offers exercises to practice between sessions; online CBT often uses clear, structured conversations and homework to track progress. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process distressing memories and can be adapted for remote sessions in ways that follow the same clinical steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, past efforts, and preferences to decide whether client-centered work, CBT, EMDR, or another method is the best fit. That choice may shift as progress is made, and the clinician and client make those decisions collaboratively.
The original biography does not list which exact online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy week, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or follow-up work. Online sessions can support the same therapeutic steps as in-person work when both parties agree on goals and a practical plan for meetings and between-session practice.
