Mark Odell, LMHC

Mark Odell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. He draws on over 14 years of clinical experience and a background as a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer to support adults and teens. He provides one-on-one counseling aimed at practical change and clearer direction.

He focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, and addictions. He also helps with career stress, grief, self-esteem, and challenges that come from family of origin patterns. Mark pays attention to issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and guilt or shame when these come up in sessions.

In session he uses approaches like Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Jungian ideas to guide work. That means conversations centre on the person, tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, exploring meaning, and paced trauma processing when appropriate.

He aims for straightforward, practical sessions where clients set goals and track progress. He helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of coping. Sessions move at a pragmatic pace suited to each person’s needs.

Mark works exclusively with individual adult clients and teens who live in Florida. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details. To start, prospective clients follow the site’s process to match and schedule with him.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own solutions, which is useful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete tools and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, is a paced method used to process traumatic memories. It can help reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions when a client and therapist agree it is appropriate.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may mix approaches and adjust over time as progress is tracked.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during work breaks or avoiding travel time. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking to know what is offered. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work while helping clients build skills, process difficult memories, and make day-to-day changes.
