Remote therapy options and approaches
Mark offers online sessions that use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different communication preferences. In remote work he integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to help clients notice patterns of thinking and develop practical skills for managing distress. Sessions often include skill building and short exercises that can be practiced between meetings.
He also uses motivational interviewing to explore values and strengthen motivation for change in areas such as addiction, coping with life transitions, or behavioral targets. Client-centered principles guide the overall process, providing a respectful, collaborative environment where the client’s perspective shapes the agenda. The Gottman Method may be used when relationship work is a focus, bringing structured tools to conversations about connection, communication, and conflict.
