Online sessions and therapeutic approach
Mark delivers remote sessions that combine client-centered listening with structured techniques. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for a person to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports exploration. This approach is intended to make room for personal priorities, emotions, and values to guide what is worked on in session.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns in thinking and behavior and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, or attention challenges. Motivational Interviewing is offered alongside other methods to help people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own reasons for change. Together these approaches can be shaped into an individualized plan that responds to short- and longer-term goals.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Mark tailors the mode of contact and the therapeutic focus to fit how a person prefers to work and the issues they bring.
