About Mark
LMFT and LPC in Louisiana with 20 years of clinical work, Mark Haase focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, and related concerns. He holds the LMFT and LPC credentials and provides care in English and Spanish. He has worked across social services settings and with people facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.
Mark’s background includes long-term roles in social services and crisis counseling. He has experience as a direct care worker in a group home for adults with developmental disabilities, staff work at a teenage homeless shelter, and crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina. He has also worked as a licensed mental health professional with children, teens, and adults on Medicaid.
In session he focuses on helping people talk through feelings and thoughts they may not have shared before. He blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Enhancement techniques. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical, with attention to current problems and coping skills.
He works with common and complex concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, panic disorder, and bipolar disorder. He also addresses relationship and family issues, grief, sleep problems, eating and food-related difficulties, anger, and issues tied to life transitions.
Spanish-speaking clients can work with him as well. The approach is collaborative: he listens, reflects, and helps people try new ways of handling problems. For many clients the work involves building clearer thinking patterns, emotion regulation skills, and steady day-to-day strategies.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. Online sessions using this approach involve the therapist following the client’s lead and encouraging honest expression, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behavior. In remote sessions CBT often includes setting short tasks between meetings, practicing coping strategies, and tracking progress to reduce symptoms like panic, intrusive thoughts, or mood swings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and moment-to-moment skills. Online DBT-style work can teach grounding, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness techniques useful for intense emotions and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as issues change or new priorities emerge.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. Those practical benefits help many people balance therapy with work and family life.
