Mark Miller, LPC

Mark Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and intimacy-related issues. He often works with LGBT clients and people dealing with sexual dysfunction, trauma, stress, and life changes. His tone is practical and paced to each person’s needs.

He invites people to move at their own speed and build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday tools you can practice between meetings. He also pays attention to how identity, culture, and life stage shape challenges.

Mark trained in counseling at Temple University, completing a master’s degree in Education and Counseling Psychology in 2000. He became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2005 and brings 18 years of clinical experience working in community mental health, substance use treatment, HIV medicine, reproductive health, managed care, and private practice.

Much of his past work has been with gay and queer men, and he has led groups for people living with HIV. As he moves through his own aging process, he has developed a particular interest in supporting men navigating midlife and aging concerns. He also addresses body image, family of origin issues, and multicultural concerns.

In sessions he draws on client-centered listening, narrative work to reframe stories, mindfulness for grounding, psychodynamic ideas about life patterns, and existential questions about meaning. He combines these to match what each person needs in the moment.

Outside of therapy he is an artist and works in black-and-white film photography.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Mark often uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and intimacy-related struggles by keeping the focus on a client’s own goals.

He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and stay grounded during difficult moments. Simple grounding exercises and breath work are often introduced and practiced in sessions. Narrative therapy is another tool he draws on to help people reframe their life stories and reduce the power of painful events or identities.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to try different methods and decide what fits their needs and preferences. Goals, comfort with particular techniques, and what feels useful in day-to-day life guide those choices.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people try techniques in the setting where their concerns occur, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
