About Mark
Mark Haase is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Louisiana with 20 years of clinical experience. He has worked across social services settings, including group homes, a youth homeless shelter, crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina, and Medicaid services. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and life changes.
He describes counseling as a place to say things out loud that might not have been said before. In sessions he combines client-centered ideas with cognitive-behavioral tools and motivational techniques. That means listening closely, examining patterns of thought and behavior, and using practical steps to try out different ways of coping.
Mark often works with people facing eating and sleep issues, ADHD, panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and trauma or abuse aftereffects. He also supports those coping with family-of-origin problems, isolation, and questions about life purpose. He speaks English and Spanish and has experience with varied age groups from children to adults in earlier roles.
His style is straightforward and grounded. Sessions focus on clear problems and doable skills. He aims to help people notice what isn’t working, try small changes, and reassess what helps.
For someone feeling stuck after a job change, a breakup, or a health event, he offers steady, practical work to clarify next steps. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule an initial appointment.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience through active listening and reflection. It helps people who need a chance to speak openly and feel heard before moving toward change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal interactions. It can be useful for impulsivity, anger, and strong mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods suit their goals and daily life. That choice can change as progress is made and new concerns arise.
Confirm the therapist's available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone connect from a place with quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs. These practical benefits help many people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
