About Mark
Mark Silla is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) practicing in New Mexico with 17 years of experience. He helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, bipolar disorder, and life changes.
He describes an eclectic, client-focused approach that keeps the person ahead of any label. He prioritizes each individual's identity rather than centering on a diagnosis. Sessions concentrate on identifying what is really behind the problems someone brings in, not just the symptoms.
In practical terms he works on changing thoughts and behaviors. That can mean learning new ways to react when anger flares, practicing skills to reduce anxiety, or shifting habits that keep addictions or relationship patterns repeating. He uses a mix of familiar methods to suit the person in front of him.
Mark draws on several established approaches when they match a client's needs. He uses client-centered work to build understanding, cognitive behavioral techniques to change thinking and behavior, and tools such as DBT skills, EMDR, or hypnotherapy where appropriate.
People who want straightforward, problem-focused help often find this style useful. He accepts clients from outside the U.S. and conducts work in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats to match their needs.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and following the person's lead. Online sessions can replicate that focus through steady conversation and reflective feedback to help people clarify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new responses, and using between-session exercises to test changes in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; those skills can be taught, practiced, and tracked in online appointments.
Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. He will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans when something isn’t helping. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT techniques, DBT skills, EMDR, hypnotherapy, or a client-centered path will be most useful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make regular practice simpler to maintain. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and exercises so they work in remote sessions as effectively as in person.
