About Mark
Mark Miele is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, mood disorders, and related concerns. He meets each person where they are and treats them with respect and straightforward support.
He believes clients are the experts on their own stories. He points out strengths and helps people use those strengths to make practical changes.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real problems and concrete steps rather than jargon or vague promises. Mark uses a mix of approaches to fit different needs. He draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most.
He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. When motivation is low, he will use motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and next steps. For emotion regulation and crisis skills, elements of dialectical behavior therapy can be introduced as appropriate.
Mindfulness techniques are offered for managing stress and grounding in the moment. People often come for help with relationships, grief, trauma, sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, or career stress. He also has experience with more complex issues such as dissociation, personality-related concerns, substance use, and obsessive-compulsive problems.
Mark works in a direct, calm style and encourages small, achievable changes. To begin, he asks a few questions to understand what matters most. From there he and the client set goals and decide on practical steps to take between sessions.
Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what is working.

Approaches That Fit Your Life Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist reflects back concerns, values, and goals so clients feel heard and can decide what changes to try. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It breaks big problems into small, manageable steps and teaches skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) contributes practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try different tools to see what fits. Together they will pick methods and build a plan that aligns with the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier between scheduled sessions. These options help people stay consistent with care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
