Mark Odell, LMHC

Mark Odell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer who holds a master’s degree in counseling and psychology. He brings 14 years of clinical experience and is based in Florida.

He has concentrated his work on individual adults and has provided counseling to teens as well, focusing on emotional challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential concerns. He works exclusively with individual adult clients and does not provide couples or child therapy.

His practice draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to fit each person's needs, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Jungian Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Mark's areas of specialty include stress, anxiety, family issues, self-esteem, depression, coaching, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and food-related issues, anger, career concerns, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses abandonment, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, family of origin difficulties, first responder issues, forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

Recognizing that many problems have roots in past experiences and generational family dynamics, he pays attention to buried feelings, isolation, fear of abandonment, and patterns like people-pleasing and unhealthy relationships. He aims to help individuals who feel stuck find relief and move toward greater well-being.
