About Mark
LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Colorado with 20 years of experience, Mark O'Laughlin helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship problems. He works with individuals who are coping with life changes, parenting strain, sleep troubles, or chronic stress. Sessions are conducted in English and draw on several therapeutic styles to match each person's needs.
Mark uses a practical, strengths-based approach. He looks for what already works in a person's life and builds from there. In sessions he often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT-style skills to manage intense emotion. He also brings Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices into the work when those fit.
His background includes individual counseling and group work with people addressing substance use and addictive behaviors. That group experience shaped his focus on skills training and behavioral strategies as part of recovery and relapse prevention. He applies these tools to a wide range of concerns, including codependency and communication problems.
Mark aims to be direct and collaborative in session. He helps people set clear goals, practice specific skills, and track changes between appointments. Musical composition and outdoor activities are interests he pursues outside clinical work.
People considering therapy with him should expect sessions that combine talking, practical skills practice, and occasional reflection on deeper patterns. If you want to schedule, confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site steps to match and book a first session.

How these approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what you're saying, and helping you steer the work. This approach helps when people need a supportive forum to sort out decisions, values, or responses to stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions involve identifying patterns, testing ideas, and practicing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. In session he may teach and coach these skills and review practice between appointments to help manage intense moods and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining skills work, reflective exploration, and short behavioral experiments over several sessions.
Session logistics and formats are not listed here. Confirm the specific online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to an office. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt techniques so skill practice and feedback still happen effectively in a remote setting.
