About Mark
Mark Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of experience. He focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety and to manage symptoms of depression. He also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, and guides those working on motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
He uses straightforward, evidence-based methods during sessions. Conversations are aimed at understanding what is getting in the way now and trying small changes that make a difference.
Background and approach
He treats clients as partners and highlights the strengths they already have. Mark often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that worsen mood or anxiety. He also offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people coping with traumatic memories who want a focused approach to reduce distress.
He explains each option and how it might help before moving forward. Sessions are geared toward clear goals and practical skills. People can expect concrete tools to practice between meetings and a plan for handling setbacks.
The focus is on workable steps rather than long lists of theory. Mark aims to create an atmosphere where clients feel heard and can try new ways of coping. He supports progress at a pace that feels manageable and adjusts methods to fit individual needs.
How CBT and EMDR work in online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions often include simple exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that clients can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety and depression.EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, focuses on reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic memories. In remote EMDR sessions, the therapist guides paced bilateral stimulation and memory processing while helping the client notice changes in emotion and body response.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative decision and can be adjusted over time based on progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for a full session, phone for lower bandwidth or a quick check-in, live chat for shorter conversations, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or a busy schedule while keeping a steady therapeutic plan.
