About Mark

Mark has 13 years of experience working with people in crisis and those coping with ongoing stress. He draws on person-centered ideas to keep sessions grounded in each person’s values and goals.
Background and approach

Common concerns he addresses include anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, grief, and compassion fatigue. He also helps people facing parenting challenges, relationship strain, career transitions, ADHD-related struggles, and the ups and downs of bipolar disorder and trauma recovery.
Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Mark listens for what matters most, then helps set small, achievable steps. This can include new ways of thinking, behavioral experiments, or coping routines that fit daily life.
He works with adults who want to reduce stress, manage strong emotions, or build clearer routines at home and work.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Mark combines person-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Person-centered work focuses on understanding a person's values and strengths, offering a calm space to talk through worries and decisions. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors, helping people test new responses and build skills to manage anxiety, depression, anger, or parenting stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods fit the client's goals and life. That collaboration means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let clients share updates between sessions and fit support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around work, parenting, and other commitments.
