About Mark
Mark Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people find steady ground during stressful times. He listens without rushing and works at each person’s pace to build on their existing strengths and goals. He keeps sessions practical and straightforward.
Conversations center on where a person is now and what they want to change. Mark uses storytelling and reflective listening to help clients see patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Background and approach
Mark earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Temple University in 1989 and a Master of Education in Counseling Psychology from Temple in 2000. He became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2005 and has practiced for 18 years in multiple settings. His work history includes community mental health, substance abuse treatment, HIV medicine, reproductive health, managed care, and independent practice.
Much of his clinical time has been with gay and queer men, and he has led support groups for people living with HIV. Recently he has grown interested in issues that come up as people age, especially men navigating midlife and later life transitions. Outside of therapy he pursues film photography and visual art, which informs his reflective, observational approach in sessions.

Online session options
How narrative and client-centered work translate to online therapy
Mark uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and revise the stories they carry about themselves. That approach looks at personal narratives and how they shape behavior, which can help with issues like identity, shame, and relationship patterns.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance, and supporting each person to find their own answers. This style helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mark treats approach selection as a collaborative process, listening to your goals and trying different methods to see what fits. He will check in regularly and adjust methods based on how sessions are going and what you report is helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper therapeutic conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, day-to-day coping, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people keep momentum between sessions.
