About Mark
Mark Anderson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 45 years of experience in mental health and substance use work. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, trauma and anger. Sessions address practical problems like work stress, relationship strain, and coping with major life changes.
He uses straightforward talking and problem-solving in session. That can mean looking at how thoughts and behaviors keep a problem going, learning skills to manage intense feelings, or focusing on small steps that move things forward. He draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of him.
Mark has long experience supporting people through loss and end-of-life concerns. He also helps people handling control issues, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue. That background informs how he approaches grief, hospice questions, and the slow, practical work of rebuilding routines after a major loss.
When addiction is present, he brings treatment experience that considers both substance use and co-occurring mental health issues such as panic, social anxiety, and depression. Sessions balance coping skills, relapse prevention ideas, and attention to trauma when it applies.
People can expect clear, practical conversations about what to try next. The focus is on usable tools and steady progress instead of abstract theory. To begin, clients use the site matching steps to schedule a first session and see whether his style fits their needs.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions let a therapist and client talk through priorities and decide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers clear exercises to try between sessions; it works well for anxiety, anger patterns, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Those skills can be practiced in weekly conversation and with short exercises between sessions. Together these approaches allow sessions to be practical and skill-focused while still attending to personal concerns like grief or addictions. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose what fits their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single route. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust tactics as progress is made. Session arrangements are not listed here, so confirm the available formats before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions around work or caregiving, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what fits their week.Areas of focus
