About Mark
Mark Silla is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with 17 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Mark works in English and accepts international clients.
He takes an individual-centered view and keeps each person’s needs first. He treats the person, not just a label. Sessions focus on noticing patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way, then testing different ways of responding.
His work combines practical, goal-oriented techniques with a conversational style. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core part of his approach. He also draws from client-centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and hypnotherapy when those tools fit the situation.
In a typical session he helps people name unhelpful thoughts, try new coping skills, and build small routines that support day-to-day functioning. He emphasizes clear steps and simple practices people can use between sessions. Progress is measured by the changes people notice in how they think and act.
People who prefer direct, structured work tend to find his method useful. He encourages collaboration about goals and methods. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How his approaches translate to online work
Mark commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts, test new ways of thinking, and build routines that reduce distress. CBT is practical and skill-focused, which can fit well with remote sessions that include homework between meetings.He also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective and active listening. This approach helps the therapist shape sessions around what matters most to the client. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements supply concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for managing anger, relationship strain, and strong mood swings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps in practice. That collaborative process helps match techniques to each person’s priorities and circumstances.
