About Mark
Mark Odell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. He offers individual counseling to adults and teens and focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. He aims to create straightforward, goal-focused sessions for people who feel stuck.
Mark draws on a mix of approaches to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential concerns. He pays attention to how family history and early patterns can shape current behavior and relationships.
How Mark works
Sessions often look at communication habits, boundaries, and coping skills that can be used right away. People seek him out for stress, relationship problems, grief, addiction concerns, eating and food-related issues, and career challenges. He also focuses on issues like abandonment, codependency, control problems, emptiness, and forgiveness.
His work includes helping those experiencing compassion fatigue and first responder issues. Therapy with Mark is centered on the client. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking, and EMDR when trauma memories are part of the picture.
Jungian and existential ideas may be used to explore meaning and identity when that fits. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. English is used for all sessions, and he works with clients located in Florida.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs.

Approaches that guide online care
Mark uses Client-Centered Therapy to start sessions by listening and reflecting, helping clients feel heard and guiding discussions toward what matters most. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort through feelings and priorities.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching clear skills for managing symptoms.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is another option he offers when trauma memories are affecting daily life. EMDR works by processing distressing memories so they have less emotional intensity and interfere less with functioning.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on skill-building, trauma processing, meaning-making, or a mix of these methods.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
