About Mark
Mark Beiser is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 28 years of experience. He helps adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.
He begins by looking at small, manageable changes in everyday choices. Those changes are meant to shift thoughts and then feelings. He also addresses motivation and confidence so people can keep moving forward. Sessions often include mindfulness practice and thought regulation exercises.
Mark uses a mix of practical techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) shapes how people notice and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness methods teach skills for staying present during strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or uncertain about making changes.
He also brings trauma-focused methods and narrative therapy into work with trauma and related concerns. That means paying attention to what happened, how it affects current life, and the stories people tell about themselves. The pace is steady and focused on concrete steps people can try between sessions.
His approach is straightforward and relational. He aims to be genuine and respectful while helping people set and meet goals. Readers looking for a practitioner who prioritizes practical change and steady support may find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can use structured exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking between meetings, which helps with anxiety, depression, and worry about parenting or relationships.Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to present-moment experience through guided breathing and brief exercises. These practices reduce reactivity and can be adapted to short check-ins or daily practice that fits into a busy home schedule.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they will try approaches and adjust based on what helps most, balancing skills practice with discussion of personal history and current problems.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a day, allow shorter focused check-ins, and let people practice skills at home between sessions. Speak with the therapist about which arrangements would work best for your routine and goals.
