Mark O'Laughlin, LPC

Mark O'Laughlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 20 years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, anger, and other life changes. He also supports people who struggle with sleep, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Mark uses a straightforward, skills-based approach in sessions. He often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He also uses client-centered ideas to follow what matters most to each person, and Jungian and mindfulness tools to broaden how people make sense of their patterns.

In earlier work he ran group therapy for people managing substance use, and that experience informs how he supports recovery-oriented goals. He looks for a person's strengths and builds practical steps from there. Sessions include skill practice and short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection when that feels useful.

Mark prefers to figure out the best approach with each person rather than applying one method to everyone. He talks openly about options and invites people to try techniques and report back on what helps. Outside of work he writes and composes music and spends time outdoors, interests he sometimes references when describing stress reduction techniques.

This profile focuses on work with adults. If a reader needs confirmation about session formats or specific arrangements, they should check the booking options before scheduling.
