About Mark

Mark Odell is an LMHC practicing in Florida with 14 years of clinical experience. He offers individual counseling to adults and teens, drawing on a range of therapeutic models to address common struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships.

Background and approach

His work also includes support for addiction concerns, eating and food-related issues, anger, career changes, and compassion fatigue. He often explores how past experiences and family patterns contribute to current difficulties, including feelings of abandonment, codependency, communication and control problems, and emptiness.

Mark integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and existential perspectives, and he uses EMDR when clinically appropriate to address trauma-related symptoms. His approach focuses on practical coping skills while also making space for deeper exploration of meaning and identity.

Clients who want a collaborative, goal-oriented process can expect practical strategies for managing distress as well as attention to underlying patterns that affect relationships and life choices. He accepts clients located in Florida and conducts sessions through several online and remote formats to accommodate different needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional reactions; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a collaborative space where the client's goals guide the work; this approach supports self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distress linked to traumatic memories by using structured processing techniques to reduce the intensity of those experiences when appropriate for trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That exploration often begins with practical strategies and evolves as trust and clarity grow in sessions.

Online therapy with him is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These remote formats make it easier to schedule consistent sessions around work, family, and life demands while still receiving regular therapeutic support from a licensed professional.
