Dr. Mark Chustz has worked as a social worker for 34 years, bringing long-standing clinical experience to each client relationship. He enjoys supporting people who want to make meaningful changes in their lives and can also help those who are not yet sure what changes are needed by guiding them to the part of themselves that already knows the next steps.
Throughout his career he has worked in both outpatient and inpatient mental health settings and has many years of experience in hospice and home health care. He also recently retired from teaching social work and healthcare management at a local four-year college, which informs his practical, informed approach to helping others.
Dr. Chustz holds a Master of Arts degree and is a licensed clinical social worker in Massachusetts. He approaches therapy from a place of realism - the goal is steady progress rather than perfection - and begins by meeting clients where they are. The format and focus of sessions are tailored to each person’s needs, and he welcomes contact when someone is ready to take the next step toward a better life.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can make a real difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is convenience and flexibility - clients can choose the mode of contact that fits their life, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility helps make it easier to attend sessions consistently and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapy delivered online is provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy is a practical, effective way to get support while managing the demands of everyday life.
