About Mark
Mark Miele is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
He uses practical talk and collaborative planning rather than lecture. Sessions focus on identifying what is causing strain at home and testing small changes. He draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room.
Mark also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. For people struggling with strong emotions or recurring patterns, he uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills.
He brings mindfulness and motivational interviewing into conversations when those approaches fit the client's goals. That can mean short grounding exercises, or clarifying a client’s own motivations when change feels hard.
Mark describes clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them use existing strengths to reduce conflict and feel more in control. He frames therapy as a sequence of practical steps, not a single solution, and works at a pace each person can manage.
How sessions work
How Mark blends approaches for online sessions
Mark commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to guide the conversation by following the client's priorities and reflecting what matters most to them. This approach helps people clarify their own goals and decide what to try next.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to break down the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides practical steps to test different behaviors and reduce patterns that cause stress or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements are used when strong emotions or repeated crises are present, teaching skills like emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as the work progresses and new priorities emerge.
