Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Mark uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. He also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so people can take meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and new needs emerge.

Online therapy with Mark is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited mobility. These remote formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward practical change.
