About Mark
Mark Haase is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. He brings two decades of clinical experience and a long history in social services to his work. He communicates in plain terms and offers therapy in English and Spanish.
He has worked in many settings - group homes, youth shelters, crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina, and community mental health programs. That background shaped a practical, down-to-earth style that focuses on what people are living with right now.
Background and approach
In sessions he helps people talk through feelings and thoughts they may not have shared before. He uses a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and motivational methods to address problems like anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, eating and sleep concerns, and panic. Mark also works with issues linked to relationships, family of origin, grief, trauma, and identity questions.
He pays attention to patterns such as avoidance, dependency, impulsivity, and compulsive behaviors, and helps clients build daily skills to cope. He views therapy as a collaborative process that can be challenging and rewarding. People who continue the work often find clearer direction, stronger emotional regulation, and improved functioning in daily life.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people feel understood. It is useful for building trust, talking through difficult feelings, and making choices that fit the person's values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, depression, OCD, and ADHD-related challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adapt methods over time so sessions stay relevant.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make regular contact easier to fit into busy lives. Video sessions work well for face-to-face conversation and skills coaching. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for frequent, brief support and can reinforce skills between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on practical progress in therapy.
