01About Mark
Mark Dunn is a licensed counselor with more than two decades of experience. He holds LCMHC and LPCC credentials and practices in North Carolina. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns.
He keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He listens first, then works with each person to set practical goals. Conversations are adapted to what the client needs in the moment rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
In therapy he uses tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioral changes. He also draws on mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help people regulate emotions and cope with strong feelings.
Mark has worked in counseling roles for 24 years, including helping people through life transitions, caregiver stress, and issues around attachment and codependency. He is familiar with concerns such as impulsivity, guilt and shame, infidelity, and isolation, and he supports people exploring life purpose and self-esteem.
Sessions are offered in English and provided through a mix of video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging. He collaborates with clients to build a plan they can use between sessions. The aim is steady, realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

04Online support
How online approaches and skills translate to real life
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made or life circumstances change, so clients help shape the path forward.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a busy day. Live chat and text sessions make it possible to check in quickly, work through a short coping strategy, or keep therapy consistent when schedules are tight. These options help people maintain continuity of care and use techniques in real time during everyday life.
