About Mark

Mark Silla brings 17 years of clinical experience to his practice in New Mexico as an LPCC, working from an individualized, client-focused perspective.

Background and approach

He emphasizes understanding each person's unique identity rather than reducing concerns to labels, and he partners with clients to explore the roots of their struggles and build practical strategies to change thoughts and behaviors. His approach is intentionally flexible, drawing from cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered, dialectical, EMDR, and hypnotherapy methods as needed to match a person's goals.

Mark has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem concerns, career transitions, and other life changes. Sessions aim to blend collaborative discovery with concrete skills work so clients can move toward clearer priorities and improved daily functioning.

He accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English, adapting format and pace to each person's situation and preferences.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Mark commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and behavioral habits. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients' experiences and goals guide the work. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is collaborative and may change over time. He works with each person to select techniques that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so that therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it possible to continue steady therapeutic work from different locations and to use shorter or longer contacts as needed to support progress.
