About Mark
Mark Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 18 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and feelings of guilt and shame. Mark often supports people navigating sexuality and HIV-related challenges and those coping with major life changes.
He uses straightforward, person-focused methods that let clients set the pace. Sessions aim to build on strengths while developing practical tools for stress, trauma, and intimacy-related problems. He also addresses career concerns, isolation, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
Mark trained at Temple University, earning a Bachelor’s in Communications and a Master’s in Education/Counseling Psychology. He became an LPC in 2005 and has worked across 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 facilitated groups for people living with HIV. As he navigates his own aging, he has focused more on helping men work through different life stages and midlife transitions.
Outside of therapy he practices film photography, mainly black and white work. That creative interest informs his attention to detail and to how people tell their stories in sessions.
How his approaches translate to online work
Mark commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the client's experience and priorities and helps people set the pace for sessions. This approach is useful for guilt, shame, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.He also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and bodily reactions in the moment, and narrative therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves and reframe those narratives. Both can support work on trauma, identity, and self-esteem.
Deciding which approach to emphasize is part of the therapeutic process. He will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That may mean using mindfulness exercises, talking through personal narratives, or exploring underlying patterns from different angles.
The specific online session formats available should be confirmed before booking. When confirmed, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commutes, and allow for quieter or shorter check-ins when time is limited. Ask about the current session options when you select the matching questionnaire and schedule your first meeting.
