About me
Sometimes life is hard. "Things fall apart, the center cannot hold," the poet tells us. But we do not have to go it alone.
My primary role is to come alongside you as you journey in the way of wellness. I really believe in the strength that is in you. And I believe that we can work together to leverage it toward your goals. I believe that you are unique and will relate to you accordingly.
I have been practicing counseling for 16 years in a variety of capacities and settings. My approach is collaborative, eclectic, and solution-focused. My style is calm and conversational. I utilize a variety of interventions, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Behavioral Activation.
I work with people with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, mood disturbances, and traumatic experiences. I also have a strong interest in spiritual issues, and am happy to work with people of faith, or people struggling with faith-related issues.
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Social Work in 2004 from Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK, and a Master's in Social Work in 2009 from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Hawaii.
I am a parent of four girls, a lifelong musician, a bread baker, gardener, lover of forests and baseball. I ride my bike when I can and sometimes do experiments in my kitchen (some of which do not end well).

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mark Licitra. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Great conversation and support.
Great experience with Mark!!
Mark is extremely well-read and “real.” I am an MD and I learn something new and useful from him every session.
Mark empathized with me and listened and gave pointers which was very helpful. He made it easy to converse and open up.
Very easy to talk to. Love our sessions together.
Mark is a very insightful and patient counselor. We are using him for couples counseling and he has helped us through various points of conflict. He is kind and warm—everyone would benefit from seeing him.
Mark is patient, insightful and understanding...Everything a counselor should be.
I think Mark is a good counselor. He listens and has good advice.
Mark helped me and my marriage tremendously in recovering from over 30 year's of alcoholism. Mahalo, Mark!
Mark is the best.
