About Mark
Mark O'Laughlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with individuals who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, and other life stresses. He aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Mark uses mindfulness-based practices alongside cognitive tools to help people notice habits and try different responses. He also draws on client-centered and Jungian ideas to build on each person's strengths. Sessions can include skills training for coping, mood management, and communication practice.
He has experience running group work for people facing substance use and addiction, and he brings that perspective into individual sessions when helpful. His approach is practical and goal-focused, with attention to what’s working and what gets in the way.
Mark emphasizes collaboration - he and the person in therapy decide together which methods fit best. He values music and the outdoors, and brings a relaxed, respectful presence into the room.
Located in Colorado, he holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. He conducts therapy in English and focuses on helping people find clearer routines, better communication, and more reliable ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.
Mindfulness, CBT, and a Collaborative Online Approach
Mark integrates Mindfulness Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his online work. Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn to notice thoughts and physical sensations without reacting immediately, which can ease anxiety and improve sleep. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce depression, manage stress, and improve coping.
He also brings a client-centered perspective that emphasizes listening and building on each person's strengths. Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process - he will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful and acceptable to the person in therapy.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It can also let people use techniques such as mindfulness practice or skills coaching from their regular routine, helping new habits translate into everyday life.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
