About Mark
LPCC Mark Silla has 17 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Mark uses a range of methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, DBT skills, EMDR, and hypnotherapy.
Mark keeps the person ahead of any diagnosis. He listens for what matters most to the individual and looks for the underlying sources of problems. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps. He works to change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning.
His style pulls from several approaches so he can respond to different needs. That means some weeks may focus on skill-building like DBT techniques, and other weeks on processing painful memories with EMDR. He also uses client-centered methods to follow what the person brings to the session.
In sessions he helps people identify patterns that cause repeated problems. He then tests small changes and tracks what does and does not work. For people facing grief, trauma, or addiction, the work can include focused memory processing or structured behavior changes.
Mark aims to make therapy practical. He helps set achievable steps for career questions, relationship strain, mood swings, and coping after losses. He encourages active collaboration so people know why each step is being tried.

How core approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what the person brings. In this approach the therapist asks questions, reflects what is said, and helps the client identify priorities and goals. It is useful for people who want an open, exploratory dialogue about life concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include experiments and homework to try between meetings. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily routines.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and the reactions they trigger. In EMDR sessions the therapist works through specific memories using structured sets of attention and processing. It is commonly applied to trauma and other hard-to-shift emotional responses.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That may mean trying brief CBT for a few sessions, adding DBT skills, or shifting to EMDR if memory processing becomes important.
The biography does not list which session formats are currently offered, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists can adapt tasks, homework, and in-session exercises so remote work still focuses on clear, practical steps.
