About Mark
Mark Silla is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 17 years of experience. He centers each session on the person in front of him, not just a label or diagnosis. He aims to help people understand what lies behind their worries and to move toward practical change.
He listens openly and uses a mix of methods to suit each person’s needs. Sessions focus on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems alive.
Background and approach
He then works with clients to try new ways of coping and making decisions. Many people seek help for stress and anxiety, and he has experience supporting those concerns along with depression, addiction, trauma and grief. He also addresses issues like relationships, intimacy, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes.
Mark combines client-centered care with approaches such as cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR, and hypnotherapy when appropriate. He helps people put small ideas into everyday practice so progress feels usable. Sessions are offered from New Mexico in English, and he accepts international clients.
Communication options include video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and remote care that fit your life
Mark uses client-centered therapy as a foundation, which means sessions begin with your concerns and priorities. This approach focuses on listening and building on your strengths so you set the pace and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, stress, mood challenges, and coping with life changes by giving simple tools to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful for people who want clearer ways to handle anger, intense feelings, or recurring conflicts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they adapt methods so the work fits the person's day-to-day life and priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people see facial cues during deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or times when writing feels more natural. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent across busy schedules and different time zones.
