Mark German, LCPC

Mark German is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 34 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addictions, and issues around self-esteem and identity. He also supports concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related struggles including guilt and shame.

In sessions he uses clear, practical methods grounded in established approaches. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered methods. He focuses on helping people notice painful patterns, try small changes, and test what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Meetings are about concrete problems and skills as much as feelings. He helps with communication problems, control issues, and impulses that get in the way of relationships. He also addresses caregiving stress, body image concerns, and the fallout from loss or separation.

Mark pays attention to how early attachment and abandonment experiences shape current reactions. He offers coaching-style support for people sorting life purpose or midlife shifts, and practical techniques for panic, sleep, and mood regulation. He works at a steady pace and blends talking with behavioral steps.

Sessions are for adults seeking to reduce the burden of guilt or shame, repair strained relationships, or manage mood and anxiety symptoms. He accepts clients from Illinois and international clients and conducts work in English.
