About Mark

Mark Beal, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. He focuses on helping individuals find meaning and make workable changes when life feels overwhelming. His style is practical and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear skills and honest reflection.

Beal brings 27 years of experience working with adults from varied backgrounds. He has a Master’s degree in Counseling and an undergraduate degree in psychology.

Background and approach

That background informs a steady, informed approach to common struggles like mood shifts, relationship strain, caregiver stress, and medical or end-of-life concerns. In sessions he uses a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation and tolerating distress. Existential ideas are woven in to help people clarify personal values and search for meaning. He also draws on Jungian ideas when dreams or deep personal themes are important.

That perspective can help people understand recurring life patterns and inner symbols. Beal describes therapy as a collaborative process where insight and practical steps go hand in hand. People seeking help for bipolar symptoms, ADHD, caregiving strain, cancer-related concerns, or hospice and end-of-life topics will find his experience relevant.

He aims to make hard conversations easier and to help clients leave sessions with usable tools and clearer direction.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, values, and the choices people make in life. It helps when someone is wrestling with purpose, loss, or big life transitions by inviting honest conversation about what matters to them.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace to help clarify feelings and goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which ideas and skills to emphasize.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to use therapy in ways that fit everyday life.
