About Mark
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered methods, and also uses Existential ideas to help people find personal meaning. He may include homework and short therapeutic tasks between meetings to reinforce change. He describes his role as listening without judgment and offering steady encouragement.
Mark’s background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies and a Master’s degree in Community Mental Health Counseling. He also completed two years of Christian counseling training through his church and may include spiritual discussion when clients request it.
He has worked in multiple settings with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, trauma, ADHD, sleep problems, and relationship and parenting issues. He also notes experience with chronic illness, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and military veteran issues among other focus areas.
In sessions he starts by identifying the most urgent problems and builds a step-by-step plan. Progress is marked by reachable goals, then new goals are set as each one is met. His style is direct, encouraging, and practical, aimed at helping people change everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily functioning.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the center of the work, focusing on listening, understanding, and offering nonjudgmental support to help people clarify what matters to them and move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses problem-solving and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, responsibility, and values when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which ideas and techniques fit best for their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix elements from different approaches so the plan matches the person rather than forcing a single method.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or making it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules shift. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online visits to practice CBT homework, review progress toward goals, and keep momentum between appointments.
