Mark Odell, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Mark

Mark Odell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. He offers individual counseling to adults and teens and focuses on clear, practical help for day-to-day struggles. He draws on military and clinical experience to create steady, direct sessions for people who feel stuck.

He helps with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. He also works with issues such as addiction, grief, anger, eating and food-related difficulties, career strain, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Additional focus areas include codependency, abandonment, commitment issues, communication and control problems, and family of origin issues. Mark uses a few different approaches depending on each person’s needs. He uses client-centered methods to build a trusting conversation.

He applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses EMDR for trauma-related work when appropriate. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability. Mark provides care in English and works with clients located in Florida only. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules according to therapist availability.

The process aims to match needs and practical constraints so work can begin promptly.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, respectful conversation where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps build insight and confidence. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe space to talk through feelings and make personal choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in thinking and behavior. It often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship patterns by teaching concrete skills to try between sessions.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a structured therapy used for trauma-related symptoms. It aims to reduce the intensity of troubling memories and the distress they cause when the client and therapist agree it is appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest one or a blend of approaches to try. That plan is revisited as work progresses to make sure it fits and feels helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during changes, and access consistent support from a licensed professional in Florida. The variety of formats also allows practical, skill-focused work and ongoing check-ins between live conversations.

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.

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.
