About Mark
Dr. Mark Daddona is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience working with adults. He holds a Ph.D. in counseling and balances clinical work with part-time teaching of psychology and supervision of graduate counseling students.
He focuses on practical support for common life problems and listens for each person's strengths and goals. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression in straightforward sessions. He also supports those facing relationship or intimacy concerns, grief, and career decisions.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns and LGBT-related issues are among the topics he regularly addresses. Dr. Daddona uses a blend of cognitive-behavioral and person-centered approaches.
That means conversations aim to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build skills while keeping the person's values and experience at the center. Sessions are intended to be nonjudgmental and collaborative. He brings practical career-focused work into counseling, helping clients connect interests and skills to current or future work paths.
He also addresses aging and geriatric challenges, caregiver stress, men's issues, and sexuality when relevant to a client's goals. Sessions may include short skill-building exercises, talking through concerns, and planning concrete next steps. The overall aim is to help people feel more in control, reduce distressing symptoms, and make choices that fit their life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Daddona uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. This work is useful for worry, low mood, parenting stress, and coping with life transitions because it focuses on concrete steps and small experiments to test new ways of responding.He also practices a person-centered approach that keeps the client's own perspective and goals at the center of sessions. That style emphasizes listening, validation, and helping people draw on their own strengths as they consider changes in relationships, career, or parenting roles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with skill-building exercises and shifting toward more reflective conversation over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone works when bandwidth is limited, chat can be used for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care when life is unpredictable.
