About Mark
Mark O'Laughlin, LPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or relationship strain. He offers straightforward, practical support for everyday problems so people can manage symptoms and move forward. His style is calm and conversational, aimed at making therapy feel doable for busy lives.
Mark has two decades of counseling experience in Colorado. He has worked with individuals on substance struggles in group settings and with people coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
He pays attention to each person's strengths and uses those as a starting point for change. In sessions he draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also uses Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices to help people understand patterns and notice what matters most to them.
Skills training and positive psychology are part of how he helps clients build day-to-day coping skills. His approach is collaborative. He talks with people about what’s working and what isn’t, then adjusts techniques to fit each person's needs.
That means practical strategies one week and deeper reflection the next, depending on the issue. Outside of work he composes and plays music and spends time outdoors. Those interests inform a relaxed, human approach in the room.
Mark treats therapy as a partnership built one step at a time.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person says, helping clients feel understood and guiding the conversation toward their goals. It works well for people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort through anxiety or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, and mood concerns because it gives clear tools to practice between sessions.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust over time. This collaborative process helps pick techniques that fit the client's needs and daily routine.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when more depth is needed, phone calls use less bandwidth, and chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or practicing skills between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules and let clients choose what works best for each moment.
