About Mark
Mark Miele is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, mood concerns like bipolar disorder and depression, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, sleep and eating struggles, low self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Mark works from the belief that each person knows their own story. He focuses on listening first and helping people use their strengths to move forward.
How Mark works
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with space to talk through difficult feelings and practice new skills. His background includes a decade of direct clinical work in settings that addressed substance use, mood disorders, and trauma-related concerns. That experience informs how he helps people when problems overlap, such as co-occurring mood and substance issues or dissociation with anxiety.
Mark uses a mix of approaches tailored to what the person needs. He draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions collaborative, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness and DBT skills to manage strong emotions. Motivational interviewing helps when people are unsure about change.
People who choose him can expect clear goals, practical exercises, and steady support while they work toward better coping, healthier relationships, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a plan with the person at the center. That approach helps people feel heard and sets collaborative goals that can be worked on between sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change thought and behavior patterns. It works well for anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood and stress-related concerns by using structured exercises and homework.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when anger, emotional swings, or impulsive behaviors get in the way of daily life.
Finding the best approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works best. This collaborative process helps match methods to the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat helps with brief updates, homework, or flexible communication between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping focus on steady progress.
