About Mark
Mark Dunn is a licensed counselor with 24 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. He works with individuals facing relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, and the challenges that come with life changes. He approaches each conversation with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
In sessions he adapts the tone and pace to fit the person in front of him. That means setting clear goals together, talking through immediate concerns, and adjusting strategies as progress is made. He emphasizes practical steps clients can try between meetings and checks in on what helps and what does not.
His background includes a mix of talk-based and skills-focused methods. He draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s experience, and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns. He also incorporates dialectical behavior strategies and mindfulness practices when they match a client’s needs.
Mark has supported people dealing with family stress, caregiver strain, attachment questions, and the particular pressures many men face around purpose and isolation. He also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, and the emotional fallout from infidelity.
He is licensed as an LCMHC and an LPCC and practices in North Carolina. If someone is unsure where to begin, he recommends a short initial conversation to clarify goals and options. The work is collaborative and focused on small, achievable changes that add up over time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the client’s experience at the center of each session. The therapist follows what matters most to the person and shapes conversations around those priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then he will suggest options and adapt methods as progress is tracked, so the plan evolves with the client’s needs. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since no specific formats are listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten commute time, and reduce disruptions to daily routines. It also lets people try talking through sensitive topics from a place that suits their schedule and energy. The focus remains on clear goals, practical tools to use between sessions, and ongoing evaluation of what is helping.Areas of expertise
