Background and approach

He also works with issues like obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, social anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges. His approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. He uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them.

Where trauma is central, he may use EMDR-informed methods alongside skills from dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions are tailored to the person and often include concrete coping tools. Mark emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes.

He encourages small, sustainable changes and checks in on what’s working and what needs adjusting.

How Mark Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Marcos often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT sessions online typically focus on practical skills, thought records, and homework between meetings to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.

He also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people identify their values and take meaningful action even when uncomfortable emotions are present. ACT work online can include values clarification exercises and mindfulness-style practices to manage stress and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adjust methods as needed. That process may combine elements from CBT, ACT, dialectical behavior therapy, or EMDR-informed trauma work depending on what the client needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skills practice, phone sessions can be easier with limited bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, family, and daily routines.
