About Mark

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 45 years of experience. Mark Anderson focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, and he uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. He combines practical techniques with steady clinical experience.

Mark has long experience in mental health and substance use care. He has worked with people facing addiction and the mental health concerns that often come with it, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. He also supports people who are coping with the loss of a loved one and those dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues.

In sessions he draws on client-centered work to keep conversations focused on each person’s experience. He uses CBT and DBT skills to teach concrete coping strategies for panic, social anxiety, anger, and compulsive behaviors. Trauma-focused methods guide recovery from abuse and other traumatic events.

Solution-focused techniques are used when the goal is to set short-term, practical steps. He addresses control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, and compassion fatigue with a focus on problem solving and skill building. Career and life-change concerns are approached with the same practical orientation.

Mark’s approach emphasizes tools people can use between sessions. He will help identify small changes that add up over time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his therapeutic approaches apply to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals and priorities in plain terms. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. Online CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to practice between meetings, which helps with anxiety, panic, and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. In remote sessions these skills are taught step by step and practiced during appointments to help with anger, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Mark will work collaboratively to choose which approaches fit best, based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. He frames the selection as a shared process and adjusts methods as progress and feedback indicate.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use approaches like CBT and DBT without changing where they spend their day, while still focusing on practical skills and measurable steps.
