My goal is to guide clients to an acceptance of themselves, and an ability to make positive changes. I assist clients to discover meaning in life, even when life is painful. I have over 30 years experience working with adults from diverse backgrounds, experiencing depression, anxiety, loss, and medical issues. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology, and I have a Masters Degree in Counseling. My counseling orientation includes CBT (cognitive-behavioral-therapy), DBT (dialectical- behavior-therapy), existential, and Jungian Analysis. I also work with dreams from a Jungian perspective.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Mark is a great therapist with many years of experience and it shows. He is easy to talk to, non judgmental and a wealth of knowledge.
Mark is so patient, understanding, and supportive! With his help, I've been able to work through my past and begin healing.
Mark is compassionate, kind, and listens well. He remembers my problems and we have an actual client-provider relationship. When we talk it’s ever forced or awkward. He’s always on time and makes me feel at ease.
Mark is wonderful! He has been a great listener and i feel really heard throughout our conversations! Cool guy!
Everything has been great!
Mark has been so awesome since I joined BetterHelp months ago! He is constantly checking in with me and helping me work through everything that is going on. I never once considered switching to a different therapist... I highly recommend him and BetterHelp.
Mark is calm, patient and caring. He’s easy to talk to and responds to me in a helpful manner. He’s the type of therapist I was looking for.
Mark is a real, authentic person, and that counts for a lot.
Either an incompetent therapist or an incompetent person. Neither of which are acceptable. Be better.
Mr. Beal guides with compassion and patience. His observations allow me to ground myself. Mr. Beal is an exceptional LPC-S who inspires me to continue with my guided self healing journey, so I may thrive again.
I have had such good luck with Mr. Beal, He is patient kind and understanding I appreciate his insight and understanding of the issues I’m trying to deal with. I would highly recommend him.

Mark is great! He truly knows how to approach every situation that may come up during our sessions and has helped me so much in there past few months! He is so open to helping me every way possible and providing me with exactly what I need as a client.
Mark is compassionate and his style is not intimidating. He listens and let’s the session flow naturally. I am so grateful for the support and experience he offers. This has been a great experience and I plan on continuing.
My first video call went good he really listened to what I had to say.
We have only had one session but he is very responsive
He does a great job at listening and helping you find guidance. He also uses techniques that show just how much experience he truly has. I’m super glad BetterHelp matched me with him out of all the possibilities!
