About Mark
Mark Haase is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Louisiana. He brings 20 years of experience in social services and counseling to his work. He aims to help people talk through hard feelings and find practical ways to cope.
He has worked across many settings, including group homes, homeless youth shelters, crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina, and programs serving children, teens, and adults on Medicaid. That background means he has seen a wide range of struggles, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, panic, and bipolar concerns.
Mark believes counseling can give people a place to say what they haven’t been able to say before. He blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and motivational approaches to help people set goals and make changes. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on simple, usable steps.
He also addresses relationship and family stresses, grief, trauma, eating and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, and work or life transitions. Additional focus areas include impulse concerns, isolation, family of origin issues, and mood or personality-related struggles.
Mark offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. He describes therapy as a challenging but rewarding process that often leads to greater maturity and a stronger sense of self for those who stick with it.

How his approaches translate to online work
The profile lists Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among his main approaches. Motivational approaches focus on helping a person find and strengthen their own reasons to change, often by talking through ambivalence and setting small, achievable goals. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and reflecting back what a person says to help them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. He will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape the pace and focus of sessions so the work feels useful and doable.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or making it simpler to join from another location. Licensed professionals can adapt motivational interviewing, client-centered listening, and CBT techniques to conversations held remotely, focusing on goal setting, problem-solving exercises, and skill practice that carry over into daily routines. -
