About Mark
Mark German is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 34 years of practice. He draws on attachment-based ideas to help people untangle strong emotions and build more satisfying connections. He works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy.
He uses clear, practical methods so people can notice what’s not working and make steady changes. Sessions focus on everyday problems like sleep, eating, parenting demands, and feeling isolated.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with mood swings, panic, impulsivity, and caregiver stress. In the room he blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical behavior skills are used when intense emotions need steadier regulation.
Client-centered listening guides the pace so each person feels heard. Mark pays attention to attachment wounds such as abandonment and difficulty trusting others. He helps people understand how early patterns show up now and then try new ways of relating.
This can ease shame, guilt, and chronic worry about intimacy. Practical outcomes are the aim: clearer communication, fewer panic responses, better sleep, and more consistent daily routines. He also offers coaching-style support for life purpose and midlife transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients. He practices in Illinois as an IL LCPC. Therapy is delivered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
Online approaches that focus on connection and action
Attachment-Based Therapy is centered on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice attachment wounds like abandonment and then try different ways of relating to reduce isolation and fear. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match personal values; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life-purpose questions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a nonjudgmental stance so the person sets the pace and direction of work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adapt them as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full sessions and nonverbal cues. Phone can be a simple check-in or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when writing out thoughts helps more than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
