I'm Mario, I have been a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio for over 10 years. I am blessed to have had the privilege to help individuals of many backgrounds work through various personal and professional issues. I take counseling very seriously and truly consider it a calling. From stress management and anxiety to depression and trauma; I am here to help.
A typical first session begins with a brief introduction. After that, we dive into why you are here, and together we'll figure out how I can best help you.
Our time together means something to me. I take counseling very seriously and truly want to help empower individuals on their path toward healing. I am engaging and authentic and will do my best to bring about positive changes in an individual's life.
Over the last 10 years, I have treated children, adolescents, adults, married couples and couples. Now, I predominately work with adults and married and/or couples, through counseling. I work well with clients who are motivated to see results and take an active role in their own treatment process.

I integrate Christian counseling to offer both emotional and spiritual support. By incorporating biblical principles alongside evidence-based therapies like CBT, I help clients find healing that aligns with their faith. I guide them through challenges with the wisdom and comfort of scripture, prayer, and Christ’s teachings. My goal is to create a safe space where clients can grow emotionally and spiritually, finding peace, hope, and a deeper connection to their faith while navigating life’s struggles.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based approach that seeks to explore the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It also seeks to uncover and identify deeply held beliefs that may be contributing to an individual's mental health issues.
This is an approach that utilizes an individual's faith in the recovery process.

Mario has completely changed my outlook on therapy. I almost gave up until i found him. He is uplifting, empowering, and truly listens to what you are saying and gives feedback that you can actually implement in your life. I am truly grateful for my experience with him thus far and encourage anyone who has been through anything in this walk of life to book with him. you will not regret it.

Mario is a very knowledgeable therapist, who takes the time to care and address the symptoms and issues you're experiencing; then finds a way to assess and help during and until the next session.
