Mark Licitra, LCSW, LICSW

Mark Licitra brings a grounded, collaborative approach to counseling that emphasizes the client's strengths and practical steps toward wellbeing. He frames therapy as a shared journey, meeting each person where they are and tailoring interventions to their unique needs and goals. His manner is calm and conversational, and he draws from a range of evidence-informed techniques to support people facing depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, bipolar mood disturbances, relationship and career concerns, anger, and challenges with self-esteem.

With 16 years of clinical experience, he has worked in diverse settings and uses an eclectic, solution-focused style that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Behavioral Activation. Mark values spiritual concerns as part of a whole-person approach and is comfortable supporting people of faith or those wrestling with faith-related issues.

He earned a Bachelor of Social Work in 2004 from Oral Roberts University and a Master of Social Work in 2009 from Temple University. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials, professional licenses that indicate training and practice as a clinical social worker. Outside of his clinical work, he is a parent of four daughters, a lifelong musician, a bread baker and gardener, and a lover of forests and baseball who rides his bike when possible and experiments in his kitchen.
