About Mark

Mark Silla is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 17 years of experience who centers sessions on each person’s needs. He approaches therapy with flexibility and a focus on understanding the individual beneath the problems they bring. Mark aims to help people identify what’s really driving their difficulties and to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so they can move toward their goals.

He uses a range of approaches, including hypnotherapy alongside talk-based methods.

Background and approach

That variety lets him match techniques to the problem at hand rather than follow a single formula. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with simple tools people can use between meetings. Mark commonly helps with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

He also supports people working through anger, self-esteem issues, career decisions, bipolar management, and life transitions. The focus is on clear steps and coping strategies that feel doable in daily life. In meetings he listens first and adapts his style to the person in the room.

Some days that means a client-centered conversation that follows the person’s lead. Other days it means a structured exercise drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy or dialectical behavior therapy. People who prefer a collaborative, problem-solving style tend to do well with him.

Mark works with English-speaking clients in New Mexico and accepts international clients for online formats. He holds the credential LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

Practical approaches for online healing

Mark draws on hypnotherapy to access focused states of attention that can help with habits, anxiety, or stress-related symptoms. Hypnotherapy sessions tend to use guided relaxation and suggestion to build new ways of responding to triggers.

He also uses client-centered therapy, which means the conversation follows the client's concerns and pace so they feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, provides structured ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Mark discusses goals and preferences with each person and combines approaches when useful. The choice of technique is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule. Video works well for in-depth conversations and guided exercises, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be a brief check-in or a way to practice skills between meetings. These options help people access continuity of care from New Mexico or other locations.
