He draws on several evidence-based approaches to match the work to the client's needs.
The result is a blend of talk, skills practice, and problem-solving aimed at daily life improvements. Mark provides sessions remotely in English. He encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and to think of therapy as a collaborative process focused on meaningful change.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Client-Centered Therapy starts with listening. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps people notice their own strengths and values to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who struggle with intense emotions and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which skills and strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and adaptable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper therapeutic work and skill coaching. Phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins or when being on camera isn't wanted. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or more frequent touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life.
