With six years of practice, Mark has worked with many common concerns such as depression, ADHD, panic, and obsessive patterns. He combines practical skills training with compassionate listening to help people make small, sustainable changes. Sessions aim to leave someone feeling clearer about next steps.

Therapeutic methods and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions in line with those values. It focuses on building meaningful habits rather than chasing certainty. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions to teach practical strategies for reducing anxiety, panic, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a focused method used when past upsetting events are affecting current life; it combines guided processing with attention shifts to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and the specific concerns you bring. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful and doable.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins or brief skill practice during a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
