Mark Dunn

Mark Dunn is a licensed counselor who brings 24 years of clinical experience to his work. He is credentialed as an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) and an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor). Mark focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns in clear, practical ways.

He uses a mindful, respectful approach and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Conversations are collaborative and focused on real problems in daily life. He listens for what matters most and helps people find steps they can try between sessions.

Mark blends methods from mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and client-centered approaches. That combination can help with mood, unhelpful thinking patterns, and learning calmer ways to respond under pressure. He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when those styles fit the situation.

Common areas he addresses include caregiver stress, attachment and communication problems, codependency, infidelity, life transitions, and feelings of isolation or low self-esteem. He aims to make therapy feel approachable so people can talk through painful topics without extra jargon.

Mark works from North Carolina and conducts intake and planning with each person to set clear goals. He frames therapy as a step-by-step process, helping people try small changes and check what works. If you want to start, he guides you through scheduling and the first steps.

How his approaches translate to online work

Mark draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. That can make stress and strong emotions easier to manage in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive tone where the person sets the pace and topics for the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical changes that affect mood and behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and together they pick methods that feel most useful. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed.

Confirm the specific session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins between obligations. Some formats may also work better for lower-bandwidth connections or brief practical exchanges, so the pair will choose what fits the person's schedule and needs.
