About Marcus

Marcus Jack is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with 10 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and career questions. Marcus aims to make it easier to talk about hard feelings and to take the first steps toward change.

Marcus creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to speak openly. He listens for what matters most, then helps clients identify small, realistic steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on real life problems and practical ways to handle them. His approach draws on existential ideas that examine meaning and values, along with client-centered listening that keeps the person’s goals central. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for emotional regulation when needed.

Mindfulness practices are offered to help with grounding and stress management. Marcus has worked across a range of concerns including grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, and he also supports people connected to intellectual disability. He aims to match tools to each person rather than using one fixed method.

Sessions can focus on coping through life changes, improving relationships, or practical coaching for work and parenting. Marcus encourages honest conversation and teamwork so clients can try new approaches and notice what helps.

Online support

Practical approaches for online therapy and meaning work

Marcus combines existential therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people online. Existential therapy invites conversation about values, purpose, and choices to clarify what matters when life feels confusing or empty. Client-centered work focuses on attentive listening and creating a respectful space where clients can name their goals and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and offer concrete experiments to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Marcus will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is most useful for daily life and relationships.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can serve as brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other busy schedules.
