Mark Silla is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of experience. He centers each session on the person rather than on labels. He focuses on helping people explore what lies behind their stress, low self esteem, relationship struggles, addiction, depression, and life changes.
Clients can expect a flexible, down-to-earth style. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. He uses practical exercises and changes to thinking and behavior to help people move forward. The work aims to identify patterns that keep someone stuck and then try different ways to respond.
Over his career he has supported people coping with trauma, grief, anger, and bipolar mood challenges. He combines several approaches to match the individual’s needs rather than using a single method. This means the plan can shift as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Mark often draws on client-centered listening to make space for the person’s own goals. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation when strong feelings get in the way. EMDR and hypnotherapy are available options when trauma processing or deep habit change are appropriate.
He practices in New Mexico and offers services in English. International clients are accepted. To begin, readers are invited to use the provider’s matching process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
Approaches that translate to online work
The client-centered approach focuses on careful listening and helping the person set their own goals. Online sessions can mirror that style by keeping conversation central and adapting exercises to what the client needs most.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It works well for anxiety, stress, low self esteem, and mood concerns because it includes clear exercises and homework that can be done between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It teaches tools for staying regulated and can be used alongside other approaches when emotions interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. Plans can change as needs shift, and techniques are blended when that helps progress.
