About Mark
Mark Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and issues tied to identity and sexuality. He often works with men and with gay and queer men, and he pays attention to problems like depression, intimacy concerns, and career strain. Mark aims to move at each person’s pace and build on existing strengths to meet therapy goals.
He uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to a person. Mark draws on client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead and on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. He also brings narrative and mindfulness approaches to help people reframe their story and manage overwhelming moments.
Mark trained at Temple University, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Communications in 1989 and a Master’s degree in Education with a focus on Counseling Psychology in 2000. He became an LPC in 2005 and has practiced in Pennsylvania for 18 years across many settings, including community mental health, substance abuse treatment, HIV medicine, reproductive health, managed care, and private practice.
Much of his clinical work has involved gay and queer men, and he has experience facilitating groups for people living with HIV. Lately he has focused more on men navigating midlife and aging concerns and the life transitions that come with those stages.
Outside of therapy, Mark is an artist and a film photographer who works primarily in black and white. His creative interests inform an observational, detail-oriented approach in sessions.
How Mark's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead, listening closely, and helping them set the pace and goals for sessions. It suits people who want a collaborative space to work through relationships, identity, or life stressors.Existential therapy looks at meaning, choices, and life stages. This approach can help people facing midlife questions, major life changes, or concerns about purpose and aging.
Mindfulness therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for managing anxiety, trauma symptoms, and stress in day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt the approach based on goals, preferences, and progress. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what the person actually needs.
