Mark Haase, LMFT, LPC

Mark Haase is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Louisiana with 20 years of experience. He works with adults who deal with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, eating issues, relationship and family matters, grief, and sleep problems. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and he accepts international clients.

Before his current practice he worked across social services for over two decades. His background includes direct care in a group home for adults with developmental disabilities, staff work at a teen homeless shelter, crisis counseling after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, and counseling with Medicaid clients. That range informs how he approaches everyday problems and crisis moments.

Mark describes counseling as a place to express feelings and thoughts that some people have never spoken aloud. He blends Client-Centered ideas with Cognitive Behavioral approaches and Motivational Enhancement methods to address practical concerns and coping skills. Sessions focus on concrete steps and clearer thinking rather than long technical explanations.

His style is straightforward and pragmatic. He helps people identify patterns from their upbringing and how those patterns affect current relationships, work, and self-esteem. He also works with issues like impulsivity, isolation, avoidant or dependent tendencies, and family of origin issues.

Appointments aim to balance problem-solving and reflection. People can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and goal checking. The therapist acknowledges that counseling takes effort and that progress often follows steady work over time.
