About Mark Haase
Mark Haase is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana. He has built a long career in social services, working in settings that range from a group home for adults with developmental disabilities to a homeless shelter for teens, and serving as a licensed counselor in a crisis counseling program in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He has also worked as a Licensed Mental Health Professional with children, teens, and adults who receive Medicaid.
Across these roles he has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic disorder, and bipolar disorder.

Mark approaches therapy as a challenging but rewarding process and views sustained engagement as a path to greater maturity and integration. He provides services in both English and Spanish and brings practical experience across individual, family, and crisis-related contexts.

Client-Centered, CBT, and DBT Approaches for Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they explore values, emotions, and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical strategies to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns because it offers concrete skills for day-to-day coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT can be helpful for overwhelming emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.
Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Mark Haase collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques from these approaches to fit the individual. This collaborative process helps shape a treatment plan that feels relevant and achievable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make scheduling easier and maintain continuity of care across distances. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent guidance, skill-building, and support while fitting therapy into busy or changing lives.
