About Mark

Mark Silla is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) based in New Mexico who brings 17 years of clinical experience to his practice. He adopts an individualized, eclectic approach that keeps each person's needs central, guiding clients through a process of self-discovery to identify the roots of their difficulties.

Background and approach

Mark emphasizes the person over the label and works collaboratively to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that interfere with life goals. His work spans a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family challenges, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

He integrates evidence-based methods such as Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical skills, and EMDR when appropriate, matching interventions to what each client needs. His style is pragmatic and client-centered, focused on helping people make meaningful, sustainable changes in daily life.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Mark blends Internal Family Systems, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions tailored to each client. Internal Family Systems is used to explore the different parts of a person’s inner world, helping to uncover how various feelings and roles influence behavior and relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s values and goals lead the work, prioritizing empathy and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and habits to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with clients to determine what fits best based on concerns, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative orientation means methods can be blended or adjusted over time as needs evolve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or when in-person visits are difficult, while still allowing for structured, evidence-informed work using the approaches described above.
