Background and approach
His background includes work across diverse cultures, including the Caribbean and varied regions of the United States. Sessions blend short-term problem solving with deeper self-reflection. He uses goal-oriented planning, cognitive techniques to change unhelpful thinking, and acceptance-based practices to help people live by their values.
Mindfulness and meditation are regular parts of his work, drawn from three decades of practice and teaching. In addition to psychotherapy, Marco offers professional coaching informed by his former executive experience. That work focuses on career development, performance improvement, and transitions.
He also uses hypnotherapy when appropriate to address habits such as smoking and weight control, and to reduce anxiety and other unhelpful behaviors. Marco prefers a creative, mind-body perspective and often combines breathwork, meditation, and practical homework. He aims to help people set clear goals and try realistic steps toward them.
He welcomes conversations about what change would look like for each person.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, life changes, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful habits and reactions, often benefiting people dealing with anxiety or workplace stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the person's lead and supports self-directed growth, which can help with self-esteem and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marco collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and adjusts as progress is made. The plan often blends techniques so sessions remain focused and practical while also addressing underlying patterns.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and do interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
