About Mark
Mark Miele is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, and concerns about relationships and family. He emphasizes practical support so people can take small steps toward change.
He speaks plainly and focuses on what will help day to day. He works from a belief that clients know their own stories and bring strengths into therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building skills, identifying patterns, and trying new ways of coping. Mark uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness tools, to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Motivational interviewing guides conversations when change feels hard, and dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used for managing intense emotions.
Therapy often includes straightforward exercises to practice between meetings, so progress continues outside sessions. The aim is steady, manageable improvement rather than quick fixes. Mark has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and career stress.
He also addresses specialized topics listed in his practice, such as addiction and mood disorders. His work emphasizes collaboration and practical steps that fit each person's life. Sessions are offered in English and provided through a range of online formats.
The approach is adaptable to different needs and focuses on helping clients find workable changes and regain a sense of control.
How specific approaches are used in online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person and their priorities in the lead. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, supportive space to sort through what feels most important.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into small, workable steps and teaching concrete skills to change patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes practical techniques for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that people can apply in heated moments or high-stress situations.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process often begins with exploring what has or has not helped before and trying simple strategies to see what fits.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow for flexibility around work and family schedules and make it easier to access regular support from home. The range of options helps people keep therapy consistent and integrate new skills into daily life.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
