About Mark
Mark Haase is a Louisiana-based licensed counselor with two clinical licenses: LMFT and LPC. Over a twenty-year career he has worked across social services settings, supporting people through crises and long-term challenges.
Background and approach
His background includes direct care in group homes, work at a teen homeless shelter, crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina, and clinical work with children, teens, and adults receiving Medicaid services. Haase blends client-centered listening with structured, skills-based methods such as cognitive behavioral approaches and motivational techniques to help people explore thoughts, feelings, and patterns.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process that can help clients name difficult emotions, develop coping strategies, and build greater stability and self-understanding. His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, addictions, eating and sleep issues, relationship and family problems, ADHD, grief, and career or life-purpose questions.
He offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients, aiming to make therapy accessible through multiple online formats. Prospective clients who are ready to begin can expect a pragmatic, empathetic clinician who values steady progress and realistic goals.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mark Haase uses approaches that blend active skills training with empathic listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and building practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, and related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client's own experience guides the work and emotional expression is prioritized. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness that can help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive behaviors.Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. He will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailor methods accordingly, mixing supportive listening with skills-based interventions as needed to match the client's needs and pace.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and consistent contact from different locations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward clear, practical goals.
