About Mark

Mark Haase is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Louisiana with 20 years of clinical experience. He has worked across social services settings and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy.

He began his work in direct care and shelter settings, then provided crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina, and later supported children, teens, and adults receiving Medicaid services. That background shaped his focus on common struggles such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, panic, and bipolar disorder.

In sessions he helps people put feelings into words and make sense of difficult moments. He blends Rogerian ideas, cognitive-behavioral tools, and motivational strategies to tailor work to each person. Conversations are straightforward and aim to build clearer thinking and better daily habits.

Mark pays attention to how stress, relationships, and life transitions affect sleep and overall rest. He also addresses eating-related concerns, grief, trauma, and challenges like isolation or impulsivity. He uses practical skills and check-ins to help people manage symptoms and daily routines.

He works in English and Spanish and welcomes international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

Approaches that guide online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can name their feelings and decide what matters to them. It helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to talk and sort priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. It uses simple exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage sleep patterns, and change unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for impulsivity, anger, relationship struggles, and self-management of strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That choice can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist who speaks English or Spanish even if they live elsewhere.
