More about Mark
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LPC, LCMHC
I am a licensed mental health counselor in Idaho, Utah, and Oregon, with over three years of professional experience in clinical practice. In addition to my counseling work, I have served for more than ten years as a law enforcement chaplain, supporting individuals, officers, and families through crisis situations. I have also been an ordained clergy member for over twenty years, with extensive experience in pastoral and Christian counseling.
I work with clients navigating stress, anxiety, family conflict, grief and loss, anger management, and major life transitions. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, open, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and supported.
Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life requires courage. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside clients as they move toward healing, growth, and lasting change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
