About Mark
Mark O'Laughlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress, substance concerns, relationship problems, and life changes. He also addresses issues like anger, sleep troubles, intimacy questions, parenting strain, and work-related stress.
Mark uses practical, skills-based methods in sessions. He often works from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. He also draws on client-centered ideas to listen for what matters most to each person.
His background includes individual and group work, including groups for people dealing with addictions. He combines skills training, mindfulness practices, and elements of Jungian therapy when those approaches suit a person's goals. The focus is on finding useful skills and building on existing strengths.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Conversations tend to identify clear problems, try small changes, and check what helps. That can include practicing new communication habits, managing anger, improving sleep routines, or addressing codependency and communication problems.
Outside of clinical work he composes music and spends time outdoors. The mix of practical techniques and broad clinical experience informs how he approaches common life stresses and relationship concerns.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Mark frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors, trying concrete changes, and tracking results. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habit changes by breaking problems into manageable steps.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, where the therapist listens closely and follows what the person says matters most. This approach is helpful for people who need steady, respectful feedback while they clarify goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides clear skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it is often useful for anger management, emotion regulation, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.
