About Mark
He practices in a person-centered way, meeting people where they are and listening first before offering strategies. His work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help with thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns. He also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing within this framework for trauma-related concerns.
Mark uses a mix of skill-building, coaching, and therapeutic conversation to tackle problems like communication breakdowns, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and coping with major life changes. He also supports people dealing with panic, post-traumatic stress, and sleep problems, and assists those navigating career decisions or questions about self-esteem.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what clients want to change. He emphasizes a nonjudgmental stance and sees the client as the driver of progress while he helps guide the process. The therapeutic relationship is treated as the foundation for meaningful work.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It teaches skills to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to act in ways that match personal goals, which can help with anxiety and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It works well for depression, anxiety, panic, and sleep difficulties by giving clear tools and homework to practice between sessions.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional impact. In practice it is blended with cognitive approaches to help people move past trauma symptoms and regain daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing scheduling around work, school, or caregiving.
