About Mark

Mark Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a broad range of personal and relational issues. He meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions aim to build on strengths and add practical tools for handling stress, anxiety, life changes, and relationship worries.

Mark earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Temple University in 1989 and a Master of Education in Counseling Psychology from Temple in 2000.

Background and approach

He became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2005 and has nearly two decades of clinical experience. That experience includes work in community mental health, substance abuse treatment, HIV medicine, reproductive health, managed care, and independent practice. Over the years he has spent time leading groups for people living with HIV and has worked extensively with gay and queer men.

He has also focused on issues such as depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy, self-esteem, and stress. His background informs an understanding of multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, and aging-related questions. In session he uses conversational, person-centered work alongside narrative and psychodynamic tools to help people make sense of their stories.

He also integrates mindfulness and existential ideas to address meaning, purpose, and day-to-day coping. The goal is to find approaches that fit each person’s needs and goals. Outside of therapy he practices black and white film photography and maintains an active creative life.

That artistic perspective often shapes his thoughtful, observant approach to therapy.

Approaches Used Online and What They Offer

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space so people can find their own solutions; it helps with stress, relationship questions, and improving confidence. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and helps rewrite those stories to reduce problems and increase agency. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and manage anxiety and mood.

Choosing the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will ask about your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to match tools and techniques to your situation rather than following a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That range makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, handle short check-ins, or have deeper conversations from home. Using these options can make getting consistent support more flexible and practical for many people.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
