Remote sessions grounded in client-centered listening
Mark uses client-centered therapy as the foundation for remote work. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is shared, and prioritizes the client's perspective when exploring goals and next steps. Sessions focus on understanding the client’s experience and building on existing strengths rather than imposing a fixed plan.
This way of working often suits people who want a collaborative process where their voice guides the work. Online sessions can allow exploration of parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, career questions, and personal themes such as forgiveness, guilt, or social anxiety in a conversational, nonjudgmental format.
Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide multiple ways to engage depending on comfort and scheduling needs, with the therapeutic focus remaining client-directed and relational.
