About Mark
Mark Miller is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people build on strengths and find practical ways forward. He works at each person's pace and focuses on goals that matter to them. His style is calm and steady, aimed at making progress feel manageable.
Mark trained at Temple University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Communications in 1989 and a Master of Education in Counseling Psychology in 2000. He became an LPC in 2005 and brings 18 years of professional experience to his practice. That background includes community mental health, substance abuse treatment, HIV medicine, reproductive health, managed care, and private practice.
Much of his clinical work has involved gay and queer men, and he has led groups for people living with HIV. As he moves through his own life stages, he has grown more interested in supporting men navigating midlife and aging. He also addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, work stress, and questions around sexuality.
In sessions he blends a person-centered approach with reflective and narrative methods. He uses mindfulness skills and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns and make new choices. Conversations are designed to be collaborative, with practical tools and honest reflection.
Outside of therapy, Mark is an artist and an avid film photographer who works primarily in black and white. His creative interests inform a thoughtful and observant approach to the therapeutic work.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace. It centers the conversation on what matters most to the client and aims to build confidence and practical coping skills. This approach can help with stress, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem.Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and values. It helps people facing life transitions, midlife questions, or feelings of isolation to clarify what matters and make deliberate decisions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attentional practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety and stress in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences, and what feels most useful, then collaborate on an approach that fits. That may mean using reflective conversation, practical mindfulness exercises, or exploring life stories and patterns together.
