About Mark Odell

Mark Odell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer who holds a master’s degree in counseling and psychology and brings 14 years of clinical experience to his work. Based in Florida, he has focused his career on providing individualized therapy to adults and has previously worked with teens; his practice centers on one-on-one treatment rather than couples or child therapy. He is not currently accepting new clients.

Mark helps adults navigate many of life’s emotional challenges, with particular emphasis on anxiety, depression, trauma and existential concerns. His areas of focus also include stress, family and relationship difficulties, self-esteem, addictions, grief, eating and food-related issues, anger, career transitions, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. He also works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems, family of origin dynamics, and first responder related concerns.

In practice he draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered methods, Existential perspectives, EMDR and Jungian-informed ideas, tailoring interventions to the needs of each individual. As an LMHC he holds state licensure to provide mental health counseling in Florida, and his background in the Navy informs a disciplined, practical approach to helping clients move toward clearer goals and greater emotional resilience.

Approaches Mark Odell Uses and What Online Therapy Offers

Mark Odell works with several therapeutic approaches that can translate well to remote care. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the client’s perspective and building a collaborative relationship; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to explore feelings, values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach to processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity, which can benefit people coping with trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mark tailors methods to each person’s goals, needs and preferences. He works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit best and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing clients to connect from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family commitments and life changes while working with licensed professionals who adapt methods to the online setting.
