About Mark
In his private practice Mark adapts treatment to each person’s needs, combining evidence-informed techniques so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single method. His toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, behaviorally focused interventions, trauma-focused work, and insight-oriented techniques to help clients change unhelpful patterns, process difficult experiences, and move toward clearer goals. He works collaboratively with individuals and families to identify priorities and practical steps for change, and he draws on a blend of therapeutic styles to match each client’s circumstances and preferences.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - a practical approach that is often effective for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related concerns. He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship so clients can explore goals, values, and personal strengths at their own pace. Additionally, Mindfulness Therapy techniques are incorporated to help clients increase present-moment awareness and manage emotional reactivity, which can support coping with trauma, anger, and mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mark partners with each person to assess needs, set goals, and try methods that fit their preferences and circumstances, adjusting course as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during life transitions, and work with a licensed professional from a range of locations.
