About Mark
Mark Miele is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Alabama with 10 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar symptoms, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, and problems with sleep and self-esteem.
He works from a practical, problem-focused stance. Sessions tend to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and test different ways of responding. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques and other approaches to structure sessions and set clear steps forward.
In session he listens for the patterns that keep problems recurring. Then he helps people try small, measurable changes that can reduce symptoms or improve daily functioning. He also uses motivational interviewing to address readiness for change when addiction or avoidance gets in the way.
He draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices when emotions run high or when someone needs tools for distress tolerance and better emotional regulation. These skills are taught in short exercises and practiced between sessions.
Mark emphasizes realistic goals and practical homework. He helps people track progress and tweak plans when something does not work. His approach is direct, hands-on, and organized to fit into busy lives.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then practice alternative responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, obsessions, and many day-to-day problems because it focuses on specific skills and measurable steps.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on the person's priorities and experience. That approach means the therapist follows the client’s concerns and supports change at a pace that fits the person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are goals; these are taught as concrete skills and practiced in session and between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasize. This is a collaborative decision based on the issues presented and what the client is willing to try.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow focused skill practice without changing much of a daily routine. Therapists can adjust pacing, assign brief between-session exercises, and use shorter check-ins when needed.
