About Mark
Mark Haase is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Louisiana. He brings 20 years of experience and a long history in social services, from group homes to crisis counseling. Mark speaks English and Spanish and has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, panic, and bipolar concerns.
He approaches sessions as a chance to say what’s been hard to say before. He blends Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral techniques and motivational strategies. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on noticing thought and habit patterns that get in the way.
Mark has a background working with developmentally disabled adults, teens at a homeless shelter, and crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina. That experience shaped how he responds to urgent distress and everyday struggles alike. He draws on decades in social services rather than a single setting.
In the room he aims for straightforward conversation and useful skills. He helps people look at thoughts and everyday habits, manage intense emotions, and make concrete changes. Parents and adults often work on sleep, anger, and routine changes while also addressing mood and anxiety symptoms.
People who choose him should expect honest dialogue and practical tools. He describes counseling as a challenging adventure with measurable steps. His goal is to help people leave feeling more mature and more whole.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and often supports work on self-esteem and emotional expression.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build different habits, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for intense states. It offers concrete strategies for handling crises and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick strategies that match goals and daily life. That may mean trying one method for a while and adjusting as needs change.
Confirm the available session options before booking so they match your schedule and needs. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is tight, or remove travel time. Ask about the specific formats offered and how appointments are scheduled to see what will work best for everyday life.
