About Mark
His style emphasizes clear goals and small steps. Once a problem is identified, he and the client set achievable tasks and homework to practice between sessions. He may offer therapeutic challenges and asks clients to be open about good days and bad days so progress can be tracked honestly.
Mark uses ideas from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and he also incorporates Existential perspectives when useful. He offers Spiritual Therapy elements when a client requests that approach for their Christian beliefs. He focuses on straightforward work rather than jargon and stays genuine and encouraging throughout the process.
Clients come for help with stress, anxiety, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, sleep problems, and attention difficulties like ADHD. He also helps people dealing with relationship and family issues, parenting strain, career questions, life transitions, and identity concerns such as men’s issues and life purpose.
With two decades across multiple settings, he has experience working with severe and persistent mental illness and substance use disorders. He prioritizes the most urgent problems first and adjusts plans as people meet each goal.

How his approaches shape online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship by following the client’s concerns and priorities. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and gives straightforward tools to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and some stress-related problems. Existential Therapy examines meaning, choices, and responsibility, and can help when people face life transitions or questions about purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then try approaches that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making scheduling more flexible. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid camera use when preferred, or choose a format that matches their bandwidth and daily routine.
