Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and grounded in real-life problems rather than only theory. His approach draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral methods to help people understand their reactions and try new strategies. He also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others.
The Gottman Method informs work around communication and relationship routines. Marc helps people address issues such as abandonment, commitment concerns, communication problems, and family of origin wounds. He also supports those facing divorce or separation, fatherhood challenges, infidelity, loneliness, and midlife questions.
He encourages practical steps that fit each person's daily life. Therapy with Marc often involves setting clear, short-term goals and reviewing progress regularly. He invites clients to bring the situations that feel most urgent and works alongside them to build better coping and clearer choices.
Sessions are offered in English in California.
Approaches for relationships and anxiety online
Marc uses attachment-based ideas to help people see how early patterns shape current relationships and emotional reactions. This work helps people understand feelings of abandonment, trust, and closeness, and it often points to ways to change responses in everyday interactions.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new ideas, and build coping skills for anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-focused techniques are used to name and work with strong feelings, especially when relationship repair or connection matters.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy path. Marc treats the choice of method as collaborative and adjusts strategies based on a client's goals and preferences. He aims to match tools to what feels manageable and useful in real life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let sessions feel closer to in-person meetings, while phone work can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or days when a shorter touchpoint helps keep progress going. These options let people fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules.
